To achieve business and project objectives through the use of Project Production Control, ongoing analysis of the Production Schedule based on definitive Decision-Support Mechanisms and Analytics is critical. A team should analyze the Production Schedule on a regular basis e.g., daily, weekly or bi-weekly dependent on the rate of production. The more complex and greater activity pace of the work, the more frequent Production Schedules should be analyzed and adjusted based on variability (planning and re-planning). Analysis can be performed on an individual, functional and cross-functional basis. A team should establish a formal process for analyzing and reporting opportunities based on Decision-Support Mechanisms and Analytics.
