Komugi Connects PIC, PDP, Workload Planning and Scheduling in a Single Industrial Decision Chain

Observation

Komugi updated its industrial-planning guidance in December 2025 to clarify the relationship between PIC, PDP, workload planning and scheduling.

Operational implication

The framework distinguishes long-term volume and capacity choices from medium-term production commitments and short-term sequencing. This matters because many manufacturers mix horizons and ownership, creating unstable plans and repeated manual corrections.

Governance perspective

Each planning level should have its own decision owner, cadence, frozen horizon and publication rule. The handoff between PIC, PDP and execution should be explicit rather than hidden inside spreadsheets or individual planner knowledge.
