BatchMaster Manufacturing

Master Production Scheduling (MPS) Module

MPS provides a master plan for what you need to produce, how much, and when to produce it. Your open production orders, sales orders, and forecast entries are used as finished goods demand, and your inventory levels, batch production jobs, and receipts are considered as supply. MPS generates an accurate, detailed schedule of orders across one or more plants based on this granular view of supply and demand. 

Supply chain planners have a calendar view of planned orders with drill-down, analysis, grouping, and rescheduling capabilities for streamlined supply chain management. Through planning dashboards, planners can create a relationship between demand and supply and determine why and when an item is required.

Key Features for Supply Chain Management

• Establish short, medium, and long-range planning periods
• Consolidate supply and demand of facilities
• Perform​“what-if analysis” while planning production
• Perform demand-to-supply pegging as well as supply-to-demand pegging
• View time-phased aspects of required production based on forecast and demand
• Schedule MPS processing on a frequency or calendar basis
• Auto conversation of MPS orders to purchase orders and batch production jobs 

What Master Production Scheduling can do for Planning & Operations

With MPS creating the optimal number of batch jobs required to meet current and forecasted demand, you can meet your customer service promises in terms of perfect orders and delivery dates.
