PPC app: production planning and control

A PPC app (production planning and control) organizes recipes, production orders, and raw-material stock in one place. Platforms like Jestor bring a ready-made PPC template that connects product, recipe, and order, instead of production control scattered across spreadsheets that don't talk to each other.

Why PPC in a spreadsheet doesn't scale

Production involves recipe, input, order, and stock all at once. In separate spreadsheets, one outdated number is enough for the whole schedule to go wrong.

The missing link is usually the raw-material stock: you plan to produce what you don't have inputs for. The order joins the queue and stalls midway for lack of material.

A dedicated app ties the production order to stock, showing what can actually be made. Planning starts reflecting the reality of the floor, not yesterday's number.
