The Master Production Schedule- represents what the company plans to produce expressed in specific configurations, quantities, and dates. Master Production Schedule (MPS) is defined as anticipated build schedule [e.g., products likely to be build] for those items assigned to master scheduler. It drives material requirements planning planning.
The master schedule (MS) is a time-phased planning chart which presents demand demand, including the forecast and the backlog (customer orders received), the master production schedule (th supply plan), th d ti h d l (the l l ) the projected on hand (POH) inventory, and the available to promise available-to-promise (ATP) quantity. It helps the master scheduler creating master production schedule (MPS).

The planning horizon is the amount of time the master schedule extends into the future. A principle of p p p planning is that a p g plan must cover a p period at least equal to the q time required to accomplish it. This means that the MS planning horizon must be at least as long as the lead time required to fabricate the MS items. This includes production and procurement time as well as engineering time in a custom design environment. This is normally set to cover a minimum of cumulative lead time along the critical path of low level components low-level
MPS is a link between operations (production) and sales. ( ) Hence need to have some policies in maintaining MPS, otherwise it may cause confusions. Many organizations divide the planning horizon into periods with different controls on schedule changes. The closer a period is to the present, the tighter are the controls on schedule changes. Varying lead times, market conditions, and processing flexibility make for different time fences As the time for order fences. execution and manufacturing approaches, labor and material are committed. A change in the schedule can be disruptive and costly, and the costs must be compared with the benefits of the change. change Following time-fence-control guidelines, which reflect guidelines realistic lead time constraints and competitive factors, will result in an MPS that promotes manufacturing stability and productivity while providing reasonable flexibility in meeting marketing demands demands.
Must recognize all sources of the demand Sum of disaggregate fi S f di t figures should match h ld t h with aggregate figures of production, inventory and forecast Disaggregation over time should be efficient (i.e., optimize cost etc.) Avoid overloading or underloading the production facility so that production capacity is efficiently utilized and low production costs result. Appropriate items must be included in MPS considering environment MTS, ATO, MTO
Cut and Fit Methods: Try out various allocations of capacity to p p y products in a group until a satisfactory combination is determined. Linear Programming: Can write LP model to generate master plan considering all constraints, factors and relevant costs.

Interactions between demand management and MPS is frequent. The projected available balance (PAB) and available-to-promise ( (ATP) are two techniques used by the master scheduler to p j ) q y project available inventory or capacity and to promise future production against customer orders. The PAB considers the availability of goods based on consuming the forecast with actual orders That is in distinct future periods the orders. is, periods, PAB uses the forecast while in the near future periods, customer orders are used as a statement of demand. Available to promise (ATP) is found to determine if future customer orders can fit within the existing master schedule A tool for sales schedule. people. The ATP uses customer orders alone as a basis of its computation. We will consider three methods of calculations of ATP figures.

As orders are slotted in the MPS, the effects on the production work centers are checked Rough cut capacity planning (RCCP) identifies underloading or overloading of capacity on a few critical resources. There are several approaches, such as Bill of approaches as, Resources approach and overall factors. Bill of R f Resource: Thi gives th number of h This i the b f hours required at each critical resource to build a particular end item.
If we had considered only the sum (as in aggregate planning), planning) we would have concluded that there is sufficient capacity (520 hours) versus a requirement of 510 hours. However, after performing RCCP we see that several periods have insufficient capacity p p y while others have an excess. Planners options to make MPS feasible: (1) adjust p ( ) j the MPS by changing due dates; or (2) adjust capacity by adding or taking away resources, using overtime, or subcontracting of the work . RCCP can be very rough sometime. A more refined approach capacity requirement planning (CRP) is done during material requirement planning (MRP) phase of planning. planning
