Productive operation

Under production operation or active operation means the regular operation of a most complex system (for example, an ERP system or ERP system or a telecommunications system ) or a new business process by, or potential users, as opposed to test operation or test operation .

definition

During the introduction of a complex, mostly technical system, the basic functionality is first checked in the trial or test phase. The number of users is then increased step by step in order to check whether the system is providing the desired performance (e.g. reaction time, processing speed, etc.). In this phase, the system is also often loaded with simulated, non-real input data.

The state in active operation is also used as an increase in the state in operation if it turns out that a system that was actually believed to be finished is not yet working correctly. It is then said that operations have not yet started, for example with the introduction of the truck toll in Germany.

Examples

Examples of such gradual introductions are:

• the system for recording and billing the truck toll in Germany
• the introduction of Telephone Number Mapping for integration of phone numbers in the domain name system of the Internet
