Master
Production Schedule (MPS) is a statement of the company's
production expressed in manufactured items with required quantities
and their completion dates. It is the highest level plan in
the system and, as such, drives all of the other planning
and scheduling activities.
It links business- and detailed manufacturing-planning and
provides a means to develop the detailed build plan required
to meet the company's manufacturing demands. This OPICS module
is so powerful, it provides the Master Scheduler with all
the sophisticated tools necessary to a successful production
plan.
The OPICS Level Build concept works on Average Daily Build.
Planners simply need to specify the quantity and time frame,
and MPS will do all the calculations for daily, weekly, or
monthly production quotas, according to the applicable production
release mode selection parameters. MPS will also calculate
due dates according to the total quantity desired and the
number expected to be completed on a daily, weekly or monthly
basis. |

Demand
for MPS can come from the following sources: |
|
|
• |
Customer
Sales Orders (from the Order Processing Module, if installed)
|
|
|
• |
Forecast
from defining the company's high-level financial plans or manual
forecast input by Master Scheduler |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
MPS module provides all summarized and detailed plans on-line
to show the implications of the plan in terms of: |
|
|
• |
Material
requirements projections to bring you on-line with just-in-Time
Inventory |
|
|
• |
Capacity
Requirement Planning, which compares the MPS suggested work
load against the capacities of each work center. This way any
imbalances can be resolved by adjusting either the schedule
or the work center capacities |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Thus,
the MPS module of OPICS provides a full simulation of "what
if" situations for achieving a workable production plan
with special consideration to sales, production and finance. |
