Why hire an internal IT person, when you can have an entire team of IT experts for a fraction of the cost?

COMMANDO – A Virtual Planning Manager

Manufacturing operations today demand speed, accuracy, and constant coordination across teams. COMMANDO is a web-based production planning, execution, and quality intelligence platform built to give manufacturers complete operational control and real-time visibility across the entire production lifecycle.

By structuring every activity around a clear WHAT–WHEN–WHO framework, COMMANDO ensures that work is planned with precision, responsibilities are clearly assigned, and execution remains aligned with delivery commitments. This approach eliminates ambiguity, reduces dependency-related delays, and improves accountability across planning, production, and quality functions.

COMMANDO continuously tracks production activities as they progress on the floor. Operational status is visually represented in real time, allowing teams to instantly understand whether activities are on schedule, at risk, or critically delayed. This enables faster intervention, minimizes disruption, and helps maintain consistent on-time delivery.

What Is Production Planning and Control?

Production Planning and Control is a core manufacturing discipline focused on ensuring that production activities are planned accurately and executed efficiently.

It consists of two interconnected functions:

Production Planning – defining resources, timelines, materials, and process sequences required to fulfill orders.
Production Control – monitoring execution, tracking progress, and making real-time adjustments to keep production aligned with plan.

Effective PPC acts as a stabilizing force in manufacturing operations. It helps organizations absorb demand fluctuations, manage capacity constraints, and respond proactively to disruptions rather than reacting after delays occur.

Key Stages of PPC
Supported by COMMANDO

If your technology is draining resources rather than optimizing them, we can get you back on track. A professionally managed services provider can give you the decisive edge to:

Planning

COMMANDO enables manufacturers to plan operations with clarity by structuring tasks, timelines, and ownership upfront. This helps prevent resource conflicts, overlooked dependencies, and last-minute firefighting.

Scheduling & Execution Monitoring

Production activities are tracked in real time and visually represented based on schedule adherence. Color-based indicators help teams quickly identify operations that are on track, at risk, or critically delayed, allowing for timely corrective action.

Dispatching & Coordination

Work instructions and assignments are seamlessly communicated to responsible teams, ensuring smooth task handovers and reducing idle time between operations.

Expediting & Bottleneck Management

Live dashboards and notifications alert managers when operations deviate from plan. This enables faster intervention and minimizes cascading delays across the production lifecycle.

Inspection & Quality Control

Quality activities are integrated directly into execution workflows. Inspection data is captured in real time and linked to specific operations, enabling early defect detection and preventing rework downstream.

Continuous Improvement

By consolidating execution and quality data, COMMANDO helps manufacturers identify recurring issues and improvement opportunities that drive long-term efficiency and consistency.

Why a PPC Platform Like COMMANDO Matters

A unified PPC platform plays a critical role in improving operational performance across manufacturing organizations.

COMMANDO helps manufacturers achieve:

  • Greater visibility into order status and production progress
  • Reduced lead times through early identification of delays
  • Improved coordination between planning, production, and quality teams
  • Stronger quality governance through real-time tracking and analysis
  • Data-backed decision-making at both operational and management levels

Rather than relying on static plans, manufacturers gain a dynamic execution environment that adapts to real-world conditions.

Quality Intelligence as Part of Execution

Quality is most effective when embedded directly into the production process.

COMMANDO enables quality teams to capture inspection data directly from the field using mobile devices. Images, reports, and geo-tagged activities provide real-time visibility into quality issues, enabling faster resolution.

Built-in AQL logic, predefined acceptance criteria, and visual quality dashboards support consistent inspection practices and provide management with clear insights into defect trends and performance patterns.

Real-Time Information for the Right Stakeholders

COMMANDO ensures that accurate, up-to-date information is available to the right people at the right time.

Through real-time dashboards and notifications, planners, production managers, quality teams, and leadership remain aligned on priorities, risks, and progress—eliminating information silos and delayed responses.

Best Practices for Effective Production Planning & Control

To fully leverage a PPC platform like COMMANDO, manufacturers should focus on the following practices:

  • Maintain real-time visibility across operations
  • Address deviations early through proactive alerts
  • Integrate quality into execution rather than post-production checks
  • Enable transparent communication across departments
  • Use performance data to drive continuous improvement

When planning, execution, and quality operate as a connected system, manufacturing organizations become more predictable, resilient, and efficient.
