Abstract: | Corus, the international metals group, is a large and complex business competing in a dynamic market place. With the pressures on the company to manage its business effectively and responsively, there is a continuing need to re-evaluate business structures. This article looks at the impact of such restructures on production planning, scheduling and control (PSC) activities and their organisation within Corus Construction & Industrial (CC&I) within the Long Products Division. Through understanding the current practices in PSC, we examine the ways in which decision-making needs to be supported in periods of organisational structural change. |
