heal.abstract	This paper examines first the far-reaching consequences of unifying bills of material and routings on the basic functions of production planning and control, i.e.: (a) On the structure of the production database and the opportunity for significant simplification; (b) On the mid-term planning of materials and capacities (traditional MRP and CRP software modules) and the chances for simultaneous planning of materials and capacities; (c) On the opportunity to support the extended enterprise and lean production concepts through better planning of the supply chain; (d) On shop floor control and the chances for reducing the volume of transactions and apply more effective scheduling strategies. In parallel, the paper proposes a new production planning and control (PPC) concept which capitalizes on the above consequences. This concept has led to the development of a PPC software system that uses the traditional and widely accepted MRP processing logic, thus avoiding the intricacies of the OPT system and being much more readily accepted by manufacturing personnel.	en
