Organizational capability in production scheduling

Abstract

The performance of the production scheduling activities is highly influenced by the organizational factors in a particular manufacturing environment. Based on the analysis of the relevant literature, this paper proposes a capability maturity model for organizational capability in production scheduling. The paper contributes to theory by building upon the results of the field-based studies on human and organizational factors in scheduling, and developing a framework for assessing the organizational maturity in production scheduling. The model can be utilized by the practitioners to map and evaluate the organizational capability in their scheduling practice.
