Overview of Master Production Schedules
Menu path
Manufacturing ➔ Planning ➔ Master Production Schedule
Introduction
You can obtain an overview of the available Master Production Schedules (MPS) in this screen. In an MPS, you can define the number of items that need to be produced in a certain period based on the sales forecast. The MPS is also used to determine expected material requirements to meet the production requirements.
The objectives of the MPS are as follows:
- Providing insight into the sales forecast
- Planning on a daily, weekly, and periodical basis
- Performing What-if analysis based on several scenarios, and
- Confirming available to promise.
Fields
You can filter the MPS for items that you want to plan or forecast for. To filter, you can define one or more of the following criteria and click Start. The items that match the filter criteria you have entered are then displayed in the MPS.
