Abstract
The possibilities of decentralizing production planning tasks depend on the organizational structure oft he product ion system. If process organization is used, a local unit is naturally responsible for the planning of similar operations. In case of line organization, a local unit is instead in charge of most of the planning for a certain family of items. This paper illustrates and discusses how the production organization affects the overall results of the planning efforts, A simple production situation is analysed in detail.
