Popis: There is a widespread misunderstanding that APSses basically serve as a placeholder for algorithms replacing human activity. Algorithms indeed exist, but they are typically based on a formal and largely simplified definition of planning and scheduling. Most publications on algorithms do not contain an application to practice. Instead, APSses serve to support humans that perform production control tasks, which means that any implementer of APS systems needs to have an understanding of these tasks – which goes far beyond the mathematical definitions (e.g., McKay et al. 1988; Stoop and Wiers 1996).
