A standard procedure in most companies is the comparison of actual to planned performance on a regular basis in order to monitor actual performance and improve the plan. The process industries generally have high quality actual data (Product Accounting – daily) and optimized plan data (Planning Department – e.g., weekly or monthly), presenting most of the conditions necessary to benefit from a financially valuable comparison.
