The backlog is the amount of production that needs to be completed in order to meet the planned production goals.

It can also be used to identify areas where additional resources may be needed in order to meet production goals. The backlog can be monitored on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis in order to ensure that production goals are being met.

  It is important to monitor the backlog on a regular basis in order to ensure that production goals are being met. Additionally, it is important to identify any potential bottlenecks or areas where additional resources may be needed in order to meet production goals.
