Master Production Scheduling
Published in Susmita Bandyopadhyay, Production and Operations Analysis, 2019
Master production scheduling (MPS) is a very critical and essential component of manufacturing planning and control. Master production schedule is a plan or schedule that is used to show when and how much of each product can be produced, based on the sales and inventory, in order to meet the customer demand. Some of the significant reasons for which MPS is required can be one or more of the following: High material handling costProduction disruptions due to delay in deliveries from suppliersDissatisfied customers due to delay in delivering finished productLarger-than-required work-in-progressIncreasing past duesIncreasing frequency of changing schedulesProblems faced in the shop floor because of material delays or other reasonsProblems arisen due to long queues in the manufacturing shop floor

In a manufacturing environment, the quantity of each finished product to be manufactured in each planning period is specified by the master production schedule (MPS). The required quantity of the finished product can be achieved only when the number of parts and raw materials required for each finished product is available. To achieve this goal, many production planning and control techniques were used in MPS. Material resource planning (MRP) is one such tool which was adopted during 1970 due to the distinction between independent and dependent demand items. The MRP is used to plan and create purchase orders for the raw materials and components for the final product based on the required quantity of the final product in a planning period.

Traditionally, MPS is a decision-making process which generates an anticipated overall schedule (dictating the varieties, quantities, and dates to manufacture end products) based on output data of production capacity, demand forecast, backlog, aggregate production plan, availability and flow of materials, inventory levels, etc. MPS acts as a bridge amid marketing and manufacturing activities. It is a report of production, not a forecast. Although the sales forecast is an input to generate MPS. It is also used to find the prospect of revenue generation of production orders received. However, the discussion on MPS is beyond the scope of this chapter.
Improving data quality during ERP implementation based on information product map
Published in Enterprise Information Systems, 2019
MPS represents the detailed production schedules for individual commodities to be produced in each time period. It is an important indication about when and how many of each product will be demanded and produced. The IPMAP for manufacturing MPS in HH Company is shown in Figure 2. Five data sources provide the necessary input to construct the final MPS report, i.e. sales data, sales forecasting data, current inventory data, work data and production calendar. After verified and maintained by RCCP (Rough Cut Capacity Planning), the final MPS is generated. In the manufacturing process for MPS in HH Company, data collectors are those who are in sales department, material control department and production planning department because they provide data sources for the final MPS IP. Plan-makers are data custodians because they are responsible for processing and integrating the data from different departments so as to generate the final MPS data. In the end, people who make decisions according to the MPS data are data consumers.
