NEN-ISO 18828-2 describes a reference planning process for seamless production planning. The scope of the discussed reference process focusses on the planning of production systems such as make-to-stock or assemble-to-order production. The analysis of the process activities has been limited to those within the production planning. The following aspects are within the scope of this document: - general overview of the reference planning process; - basic principles of the process model; - description of each level identified within the reference planning process for production planning; - structure of activities and relations within each planning discipline; - dependencies of interdisciplinary activities. The following items are outside the scope of this document: - material requirement planning/manufacturing resource planning; - production order control; - production process; - early stage product design; - order management, inventory management, purchasing, transportation, warehousing; - production facilities planning/manufacturing facilities planning (physical plant and equipment), including any kind of resource that is not directly related to the manufacturing process; - value chain (inbound logistics, operations management, outbound logistics, marketing and sales); - resource visualization; - process simulation.
