Master Production Schedule (MPS)

The Master Production Schedule defines what to produce and when at a high level. It helps align demand forecasts, sales orders and capacity planning into a consistent plan that drives job orders and procurement.

Key concepts:

  • Planning horizon: daily/weekly/monthly buckets for long-term planning.
  • Buckets: define production quantities per time bucket.
  • Capacity checks: validate MPS against available production capacity and adjust plans.
