Study of different logics of Planning and Control - a contribution to the strategic management of operations

Abstract

Organisations are today, included in complex environments and variables that are defined bythe market that is increasingly competitive. To survive to this challenge, organizations needto plan with responsibility, outlining its strategy, while maintaining appropriate control ofthem, seeking the conquest of the goals set out. The process of planning and control can bean arduous task since the literature is presenting a diversity of approaches that can beimplemented, however, these approaches, if well implemented, become allies ofmanagement. Starting from this motivational factor, it is worth reviewing the conceptualtheory, this paper presents a compilation of different approaches used for planning andcontrol, presenting a proposal for classification of these approaches in groups of similar logic,which, according to the detailed analysis of each method that company uses for planning andcontrol, led to the classification into three dominant classes here called Integration, andQuality Breakdown, which interact, but each with a logic of its own. In general, you can say,in summary form, that the integration is to object the use of software. The Breakdownpresents a division of targets to be met, while the quality, is used in terms of managing forquality control. Now, with its full development, is the framework, which is an importantcontribution to the theory of Engineering and Production Management Operations, as themapping of logical groups of planning and control provides a consistent application in themanagement of manufacturing and services Because the organization when looking for acompetitive strategy, however, we need a successful deployment to obtain the expectedresults.
