This paper aims to present a proposal of an hybrid production planning and control system (PPCS): MRPII and CPM. In order to accomplish this goal, this paper surveys the literature on MRPII - CPM hybrid systems and shows an example of such system in a case study performed in a large company characterized for large projects. The importance of hybrid systems on modern operations management literature, the non-existence on literature of an study concerning MRPII - CPM hybrid system and the wide range of application of such proposal make this paper an important contribution for Operations Management literature. In addition, our proposal encompasses operations scheduling aspects, linking the MRPII - CPM hybrid system to an operations scheduling approach which aims due dates reliability.
