Abstract

A method for planning and control of jobs is disclosed, wherein work steps (10, 11-19) are organised for the jobs with cost centres of limited capacity based on logical connections of the work steps (10, 11-19), determining a temporal sequence for carrying out the work steps (10, 11-19) and on the predicted duration of the execution of the work steps (10, 11-19) at the cost centres, with generation of a representation of a sequence for execution of the work steps (10, 11-19) of the job for each job, based on the organisation and also, for each cost centre, a work job with each work step (10, 11-19) to be carried out and furthermore, a management information system for organization and control of jobs for the production of printed items (1) in a networked graphic production with an organizing module, by means of which the work steps (10, 11-19) of the jobs are organized at cost centres with limited capacity and for generation, for each job, of a representation of a sequence for execution of the work steps (10, 11-19) of the job and, for each cost centre, a work job with each work step (10, 11-19) to be carried out and comprising a control module by means of which the execution of the work steps (10, 11-19) may be controlled. According to the invention, the planning, calculation and presentation expense for non-bottleneck cost centres can be reduced without losing information crucial for the control wherein the work job is a to-do-list for the non-bottleneck cost centre. Within the organization for the work steps (10, 11-19) to be carried out, no sequence is determined nor are such non-bottleneck cost centres definable in the management information system.
