Abstract

Planning and scheduling experts in practice are often faced with the question of how a company can improve its planning performance. Such improvements can be related to, for example, computer support, organizational task division, performance analysis, etc. The multitude of planning and scheduling factors and their interrelatedness makes it difficult to integrally explain current performance and assess the consequences of changes. We analyze how different perspective on task analysis methods complement each other for the various questions that planning and scheduling experts encounter in practice. There are two main findings. On the one hand, a combination of methods is often necessary in order to avoid myopia and biased results. On the other hand, however, the analysis shows that not all questions require a full-scale analysis of the situation.
