Production Planning and Control in Industry 4.0: Maintenance or Breakdown of the Principles and Fundamentals

The PPC presents numerous challenges in terms of command and coordination of the productive sector with company’s sectors. With the emergence of new production paradigms, the complexity of planning and controlling production has increased a lot. In 2011 Industry 4.0 brought with it the need to verify whether there was a maintenance or rupture of the principles and fundamentals as well as of a whole theory developed over years of research. To verify the maintenance or rupture of the fundamentals, a bibliographic review was carried out, identifying the fundamentals of the PPC in the light of the main authors in the area, making a comparison of these fundamentals with the functional architecture of the PPC in Industry 4.0. The result points to the confirmation of the maintenance of a whole theory that underlies the PPC. Finally, the results of the comparison and the respective suggestions for future work was shown.
