Master Production Scheduling
Master Production Scheduling (MPS) allows for scheduling based on single items or item ranges, classes or
manufacturing groups. This module also features a summarized view of all finished goods at once and quantities
affecting them with drill down to detail.
- Graphical format which allows users to see production bottlenecks at a glance
- Schedule can be viewed by any of five predefined or three user-defined time buckets
- Unlimited "What-if" scenarios which can then be used to update the actual schedule
- Base on the time bucket, drill to forecasts, sales orders or work orders
- Any item may be marked for use in the schedule
- Plant closed dates and holidays may be entered so that these days will not be included in the calculation of the schedule
- Exception notices will be generated whenever changes will affect MPS and MRP.
An example is cancellation of sales order generated if affecting production.
- Item groups may be established that consist of Parent Item w/sub-assemblies so they may be scheduled at one time
