Describe a master production schedule (MPS) and compute available-to-promise quantities.
The MPS in an organization forms the basis of communication
between sales and manufacturing. Using the MPS as a contract
between sales and production means that sales can make valid order
promises. MPS is a dynamic plan and can be changed when there are
changes in demand or capacity. It decides what products are
manufactured and when
MPS integrated with an ERP helps in planning, extracting actual
supply and demand data, forecasting, delivering accurate and timely
production plans that help manufacturers achieve their production
objectives and reduce costs.
The functions of Master Production Schedule are:
1. To translate aggregate plans into specific end
items
2. Evaluate alternative schedules
3. Generate material requirement:
4. Generate capacity requirements:
5. Facilitate information processing
6. Effective utilization of capacity
The inputs to MPS are
• Capacity constraint
• Production Policies
• Product Characteristics
• Planned Orders
• Forecast demand
• Current and planned
• Availability
• Planning Horizon
• Calendar
Output of MPS
• When and how much to produce each product
• Capacity planning
Available-to-Promise is a report for each MPS line item. The report is time-phased, and reports are generated monthly
Its is a tool used to show the inventory that is not reserved
for existing customer orders and is available for the sales team to
Promise to other customers
The Available to Promise formula is:
on hand = quantity on hand
supply = planned orders,
demand = sales orders, component demand
