Abstract
A comparison of the food industry in Holland with the iron industry in Denmark shows a large resemblance in several areas such as the order handling, the delivery precision and the production planning structure. The food and the iron industry are traditionally not compared, but due to the development within the food industry towards customer specific brands and the development in the iron industry towards more generic production of non-customer specific parts, the two industries are approaching the same situation. This paper discusses the development of both industries and presents similar developments within several areas: Narrowing of planning levels, new control structures and demands of future production planning systems. The paper is an extended version of a selected paper from the WG5.7 APMS‘96 conference in Kyoto, Japan (ISBN: 4-915740-20-X).
