The document provides an overview of Master Production Scheduling (MPS), detailing its role in linking production planning with manufacturing execution, calculating necessary capacity, and managing material requirements. It outlines the objectives for developing an MPS, such as satisfying customer demand and optimizing resources, along with steps for creating a preliminary MPS and checking it against available capacity. Additionally, it discusses various production strategies like make to stock, make to order, and assemble to order, emphasizing efficient representations of manufacturing capabilities.

2. Master Scheduling (MPS)
• It forms the link between production
planning and what manufacturing will
actually build.
• It forms the basis for calculating the
capacity and resources needed
• The MPS drives the material
requirements plan
• It keeps priorities valid. The MPS is a
priority plan for manufacturing.

3. Master Scheduling (MPS)
• The end items made by the company
are assembled from component and
subcomponents parts. These must be
available in the right quantities at the
right time to support the master
production schedule. The material
requirements planning system plan the
schedule for these components based
on the needs of the MPS.

4. Master Scheduling (MPS)
• The master production schedule is a
plan for manufacturing. It reflects the
needs of the marketplace and the
capacity of manufacturing and forms a
priority plan for manufacturing to follow.

7. Developing a Master production
Schedule
• The objectives in developing an MPS are:
• To maintain the desired level of customer
service by maintaining finished-goods
inventory levels or by schedule to meet
customer delivery requirements
• To make the best use of material, labor and
equipment
• To maintain inventory investment at the
required levels

8. Developing a Master production
Schedule
• The plan must satisfy customer
demand, be within the capacity of
manufacturing, and be within the
guidelines of the production plan

9. Developing a Master production
Schedule
• Steps:
– Develop a preliminary MPS
– Check the preliminary MPS against
available capacity
– Resolve differences between the
preliminary MPS and capacity availability

11. Rough-Cut Capacity Planning
• RCCP checks whether critical resources
are available to support the preliminary
master production schedules. Critical
resources include bottleneck
operations, labor, and critical materials.

13. Resolution of Differences
• Compare the total time required to the
available capacity of the work center
– Resources use
– Customer service
– Cost

14. Master Schedule Decisions
• The MPS should represent as efficiently as
possible what manufacturing will make.
• Make to stock products: Limited number of
standard items are assembled from many
components
• Make to order products: Many different
ended items are made form a small number
of components
• Assemble to order products: Many end
items can be made form combinations of
basic components and subassemblies.
