Production Planning and Control (PPC)

Production control based on real execution data, dimensional evidence and QIF (ISO 23952) integration

IVR PPC synchronizes planning and shop floor execution using real-time data from MES, OEE and dimensional results automatically collected from IMTE — Inspection Measuring and Test Equipment. Each production order is linked to QIF-structured characteristics and SPC behavior, ensuring that control decisions are supported by measurable and traceable evidence.

Control with objective production data

  • Order monitoring linked to MES execution records
  • Quality validation from IMTE dimensional measurements
  • QIF-structured characteristic traceability per order
  • SPC-based deviation alerts during execution
  • Integrated CAD + QIF + DMIS digital thread

Synchronization between planning and execution

IVR PPC connects production plans generated by APS with real shop floor execution captured by MES. Orders are monitored against actual machine availability, performance and quality behavior.

Deviations between planned and executed quantities are evaluated using structured data rather than manual reports, ensuring objective production control.

Control decisions are grounded in measurable operational evidence.

Dimensional quality embedded in control logic

Production control incorporates dimensional results collected directly from IMTE — Inspection Measuring and Test Equipment and structured in QIF (ISO 23952).

Nonconformities, statistical instability and capability indices (Cp, Cpk) influence order status, release decisions and corrective actions.

  • Order blocking based on dimensional nonconformity
  • Capability-driven prioritization
  • Traceable link between deviation and measured characteristic

Integration with OEE and performance indicators

IVR PPC correlates production progress with OEE indicators, enabling analysis of how availability and performance losses impact order completion.

Quality-related losses derived from dimensional evidence are reflected in production status, providing a comprehensive control view.

Production control reflects real equipment effectiveness and process stability.

Continuous digital thread in production control

Engineering definitions from CAD flow into QIF-structured data and DMIS execution programs. The resulting dimensional measurements feed MES, OEE and PPC modules without retyping.

This digital chain — CAD → QIF → DMIS → IMTE → MES → OEE → PPC — ensures alignment between engineering intent and production control decisions.

  • Design-to-order traceability
  • Alignment between dimensional definition and execution status
  • Documented and auditable control records

Audit-ready production records

All planning updates, execution deviations and quality-based adjustments are stored as structured and retrievable records.

By integrating production control with real dimensional evidence, IVR PPC ensures technically defensible and fully traceable manufacturing management.

Production planning and control become data-driven engineering processes.
