Abstract:	This article deals with the integration of social criterias into production planning and control. Firstly, it is emphasized, that working conditions for employees have barely improved and that production planning and control can achieve considerable progress in this field. The presented literature demonstrate, that only a few number of papers consider the social dimension at the context of production planning and control. Therefore this paper presents a linear optimization model for the Master Production Scheduling, which can be considered as a long-term employee utilization management system in order to reduce employee burdens. The special feature of this model is the link between aspects of personnel planning und production planning and control. The system consideres different employee utilization intervals and employee utilization specific processing times and it includes flexible capacities, so it is allowed to build and to reduce the available capacity. This model is used to examine a case study, with the aim to verify the need for the control of employee utilization. The results confirm previous results from short-term planning horizons, which underline, that maximizing the utilization of employees does not necessarily lead to optimal results. Finaly, further research questions can be derived from the analysis of the results.
