Production Activity Control: how to improve productivity and production control

Production Activity Control (PAC) is the process that links production planning to actual production. It is a key process for ensuring that production is executed efficiently and on schedule.

PAC activities

The main activities of the PAC include:

  • Work order scheduling: the PAC is responsible for determining when and where to produce each work order. This process takes into account factors such as resource availability, production times, and order priorities.
  • Resource management: the PAC is responsible for allocating the resources needed to execute work orders. This includes machinery, personnel and materials.
  • Verification of equipment availability: the PAC is responsible for verifying that the equipment needed to execute work orders is available and in good condition.
  • It signals the time to set up materials at the edge of the line: the PAC is responsible for informing production when the materials needed to execute a work order are available.
  • Advancement and balance management: the PAC is responsible for keeping track of production progress and recording associated costs.

Benefits of PAC

An effective PAC can offer numerous benefits for companies, including:

  • Increased productivity: PAC can help reduce waste and improve production efficiency.
  • Production control: PAC can help ensure that production is carried out in line with plans.
  • Visibility on product cost variances: PAC can help identify and reduce product cost variances.

How to improve the PAC

To improve the PAC is important:

  • Clearly define responsibilities and processes: it is important that all actors involved in the PAC know what their responsibilities are and how the process should work.
  • Use the right tools and technologies: there are a number of tools and technologies that can help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of PAC.
  • Monitor and measure results: it is important to monitor and measure PAC results to identify areas for improvement.
