The objectives of this chapter are to introduce scheduling. When you finish this chapter, you should be able to: Explain what scheduling involves and the importance of good scheduling, compare product and service scheduling hierarchies, describe scheduling needs in high-volume systems,. | Supplement D - Master Scheduling & Rough-Cut Capacity Planning Operations Management 6th Edition R. Dan Reid & Nada R. Sanders 1 Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Learning Objectives Explain the role of the master production schedule and describe the objectives of master production scheduling Develop a master production schedule and project the capacity needed using rough-cut capacity planning Calculate available-to-promise quantities Describe time fence policies Master Production Scheduling MPS: The anticipated build schedule The Master scheduler is the person responsible for managing, developing, reviewing and maintaining the master schedule MPS As a Basis of Communication Demand Management is the function of recognizing all demands for good/services to support the marketplace.

MRP – A technique using the master production schedule, bill of material data and inventory records to calculate requirements for materials. Master production schedule linkages: Objectives of Master Scheduling The master scheduler considers these points when developing the (master) schedule: Achieve the desired customer service level either by maintaining finished goods inventory or by scheduling completion of the item or service to meet the customer’s delivery needs. Make the best use of the company’s resources: material, labor, and equipment. Ensure that the inventory investment is at the appropriate level. Developing an MPS The master scheduler: Develops a proposed MPS Checks the schedule for feasibility in terms of available capacity Modifies as needed Authorizes the MPS The master scheduler uses the finished MPS records to develop a proposed master production schedule, which is then checked for feasibility with a rough-cut capacity planning technique Projected available = beginning inventory + MPS shipment – forecasted demand Rough-Cut Capacity Planning Rough-cut capacity planning (RCCP): The process of converting the master production schedule
