Master Production Scheduling (PowerPoint PPT)

This documents shares you insights about the key operations management techniques, such as master scheduling and master production scheduling.

Manufacturing's portion of the Master Schedule. It is the anticipated build schedule, stated in specific product configurations.

This PPT delves into the intricacies of Master Production Scheduling (MPS) with practical examples and detailed explanations. It covers the critical role of MPS in linking production planning to actual manufacturing, ensuring that capacity and resources are calculated accurately. The document also highlights how MPS drives the materials requirements plan and sets priorities for production, making it an essential tool for efficient manufacturing operations.

Included are examples of MPS in action, demonstrating how to develop MPS from aggregate plans. These examples provide a clear understanding of how to disaggregate aggregate plans into individual product inventory profiles. This section is invaluable for those looking to optimize their production schedules and align them with overall business objectives.

The document also addresses rough-cut capacity planning, showcasing how to calculate resource requirements and create product load profiles. This ensures that production schedules are realistic and achievable, avoiding bottlenecks and maximizing efficiency. The MPS hourglass model is introduced, emphasizing the importance of scheduling where the smallest number of options exists, streamlining the production process.
