Production control

It is a "set of actions and decision taken during production to regulate output and obtain reasonable assurance that the specification will be met.

As explained,[4] project controls have developed to become centralized functions to track project progress and identify deviations from plan and to forecast future progress, using metrics rooted in accounting principles.

Communist countries had a central production control institute, where the agricultural and industrial production for the whole nation was planned and controlled.

In Customer Care environments production control is known as Workforce Management (WFM).

Centralized Workforce Management teams are often called Command Center, Mission Control or WFM Shared Production Centers.
