Abstract: Since the 1970s, multiple planning and control frameworks have been introduced. The current digitalisation of the manufacturing industry, with all its Industry 4.0 related technologies, will have major implications on manufacturing logistics, and may change how manufacturing companies plan and control their production. In this paper, we discuss the effects of the developments in planning frameworks and technologies on different factors that constitute planning and control. These are the balance between human and automated planning, the influence on mid-term planning due to improved forecast accuracy, the influence of real-time information on short-term planning, horizontal and vertical integration and the impact on supply chain performance. The application of new technologies will lead to changes in all of these factors that cannot be fully captured by current planning and control frameworks. These factors need to be integrated into future frameworks in order to structure future research into planning and control.
