Explanation

Production control and data control functions must be separated to maintain data and application integrity. Production control is responsible for managing the execution and scheduling of production jobs, such as batch processing, backups, and report generation. Data control is responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of data input and output, such as verifying data sources, reconciling data files, and correcting data errors. If these functions are not separated, there is a risk of unauthorized or erroneous changes to the data or the applications that process the data.
