After reading the material in this chapter, you should be able to: Describe the hierarchical operations planning process in terms of materials planning (APP, MPS, MRP) and capacity planning (RRP, RCCP, CRP); describe MRP, closed-loop MRP, MRP-II, DRP, ERP, and their relationships; understand the terms used in MRP computations; | Manufacturing Planning and Control MPC 6th Edition Chapter 5 Master Production Scheduling An effective Master Production Schedule (MPS) provides the basis for making good use of manufacturing resources, making customer delivery promises, resolving trade-offs between sales and manufacturing, and attaining the firm’s strategic objectives, as reflected in the Sales and Operations Plan. Agenda Master Production Scheduling and the Manufacturing Planning and Control System The MPS is a statement of the specific products that make up manufacturing output The MPS is a translation of the sales and operations plan into producible products with their timing and quantities determined The MPS shows when products will be available in the future Attributes of the Master Production Schedule The MPS is a statement of production, not of demand The MPS is not a forecast The MPS considers factors such as capacity constraints, costs of production, resource limitations, and the sales and operations plan . | Manufacturing Planning and Control MPC 6th Edition Chapter 5 Master Production Scheduling An effective Master Production Schedule (MPS) provides the basis for making good use of manufacturing resources, making customer delivery promises, resolving trade-offs between sales and manufacturing, and attaining the firm’s strategic objectives, as reflected in the Sales and Operations Plan.
