Benefits of Master Production Scheduling (MPS)

Master Production Scheduling
Master Production Scheduling (MPS) is a
manufacturing planning tool that captures
information such as customer demand, capacity,
inventory levels, material flows, etc., from an
organization, and then helps determine what the
organization should produce and when.
Essentially, MPS is a tool that determines what,
when, and how many things a manufacturing company
should produce. It helps organizationsin
achieving a very influential and prominent
planning functionality to deliver the most
accurate production plans. Below are the main
benefits associated with Master Production
Scheduling (MPS).

Aids in the stabilization of production
Master production schedules do not allow for
"planning in arrears". When problems occur, and
products are not produced as scheduled,
production is rescheduled to a more appropriate
time in the future.
4
MPS offers alternative production routes
An automated Master Production Scheduling system
generates a trial-and-error schedule that offers
an alternative way to complete the production
process.
This would deal with any unanticipated problems
that could occur during the production process.
5
Protects lead time and aids in the scheduling of
future Deliveries
Sometimes demand may be loaded within the lead
time, which is a typical issue among many
organizations. This may cause fear among the
employees, causing the established priorities to
get jumbled. While there are various techniques
for preventing this, MPS may be a powerful tool
since it provides a production plan that drives
production plans, but not the customer demand.
This helps the company protect its lead time and
aids in determining when the production process
can best meet future customer demands.

MPS Aids in Smoothing Demand Signals
Most client demand signals will have peaks and
fall in demand, which may result in planning
problems and inefficiencies in manufacturing. MPS
offers the advantage of decoupling consumer
demand from production, by adjusting batch sizes
to optimize the manufacturing process. When
demand is wildly irregular, MPS may be quite
helpful in generating a constant drumbeat of
manufacturing by taking advantage of batch sizes
and minimal setup times that can then propagate
through the supply chain.
