What is an MPS?
Constraints of MPS
a. Sum of the MPS quantities must equal those of
PRODUCTION PLAN
b. Total requirements for a product must be allocated
over time in an efficient manner. Considerations
involved are:
* Costs of production (and setups)
* Inventory carrying costs
c. CAPACITY LIMITATION must be recognized.
Production may be delayed or take place before market demand
in order to improve utilization, reduce cost, etc.

2. MPS Techniques
Determine supply and demand
relationships over time (time-phased
record)
Prepare production schedule according
to strategy (chase, level, mixed)
Calculate projected available balance
(for available-to-promise activities)
Revise plans as time passes (rolling
through time)

Available-to-Promise (ATP)
When immediate delivery is not expected (or is not
possible due to stockouts), a promised delivery
date must be established
The order promising task is to determine when the
shipment can be made
Available-to-promise (ATP) procedures coordinate
order promising with production schedules

Concluding Principles
The MPS unit should reflect the business
environment and the companys chosen
approach.
If a common ERP database is implemented,
the MPS function should use that data.
Regardless of the firms environment, effective
scheduling is facilitated by common systems,
time-phased processing, and MPS techniques.
Customer order processing should be closely
linked to MPS.
45
Concluding Principles
ATP information should be derived from the
MPS and provided to the sales department.
An FAS should be used to convert the
anticipated build schedule into the final build
schedule.
The master production scheduler should ensure
that the sum of the parts (the MPS) is equal to
the whole (the operations plan).
