    Master Production Scheduling (MPS) and MRP 1

    Uploaded by

    Kl Oteen
    The document discusses master production scheduling (MPS) and material requirements planning (MRP). It defines MPS as a product-wise production plan that provides input to MRP systems. MRP then uses the MPS to determine material requirements. The document outlines the key functions and benefits of MPS and MRP, including specifying production quantities, sequencing jobs, and improving inventory management. It also discusses extensions of MRP like closed-loop MRP and how MRP can be applied to services.

    Master production scheduling (MPS) and

    Material Requirement planning(MRP)


     A master production schedule (MPS) is a product-wise plan for manufacturing products.
    When a firm uses an MRP (material requirements planning) system, the MPS provides the
    top-level input requirements.
     Aggregate planning aims at an overall plan without distinguishing products. But master
    production plan/schedule aims to prepare a product-wise schedule which is consistent
    with the aggregate planning.
     A aggregate planning problem provides a basis for decision-making regarding specific
    production dates, available capacity, total demand, lead time, or inventory constraints.
     A plan in terms of specific products that are to be produced in certain quantities by certain
    dates which is known as master production schedule/disaggregation schedule.
    MPS specifies:
     The sizing and timing of production orders for specific items
     The sequencing of individual jobs
     The short-term allocation of resources to individual activities and
    operation.

    Existing MPS/disaggregation techniques:


     Cut-and-fit methods
     Mathematical programming methods
     Heuristic methods
    Master Production Schedule (MPS)
     Specifies what is to be made and when
     Must be in accordance with the aggregate production plan
     Aggregate production plan sets the overall level of output in broad terms
     As the process moves from planning to execution, each step must be tested
    for feasibility
     The MPS is the result of the production planning process
     MPS is established in terms of specific products
     Schedule must be followed for a reasonable length of time
     The MPS is quite often fixed or frozen in the near term part of the
    plan
     The MPS is a rolling schedule
     The MPS is a statement of what is to be produced, not a forecast of
    demand
    The Planning Process

    production
    plan?
    The Planning Process
    Material Requirements Planning
    Benefits of MRP
     Better response to customer orders
     Faster response to market changes
     Improved utilization of facilities and labor
     Reduced inventory levels
    MRP Management:
     MRP is a dynamic system
     Facilitates re-planning when changes occur
     System nervousness can result from too many changes
     Time fences put limits on re-planning
     Pegging links each item to its parent allowing effective
    analysis of changes
    MRP and JIT
     MRP is a planning system that does not do detailed scheduling
     MRP requires fixed lead times which might actually vary with
    batch size
     JIT excels at rapidly moving small batches of material through
    the system
    Finite Capacity Scheduling (FCS):
     MRP systems do not consider capacity during normal planning
    cycles
     Finite capacity scheduling (FCS) recognizes actual capacity
    limits
     By merging MRP and FCS, a finite schedule is created with
    feasible capacities which facilitates rapid material movement
    • MRP Inputs
    Extensions of MRP
    Closed-Loop MRP:
    – MRP system provides input to the capacity plan, master
    production schedule (MPS), and production planning
    process
    Capacity Planning
    – MRP system generates a load report which details capacity
    requirements
    – This is used to drive the capacity planning process
    – Changes pass back through the MRP system for
    rescheduling
    MRP in Services
    • Some services or service items are directly linked to
    demand for other services
    • These can be treated as dependent demand services or items
     Restaurants
     Hospitals
     Hotels
    MRP is designed to answer three Questions:
    What is needed?
    How much is needed?
    When is it needed?
    MRP
    The main theme of MRP is “getting the right materials
    to the right place at the right time”.

     Ensure materials are available for production


     Maintain the lowest possible material and product levels in
    store
     Plan manufacturing activities, delivery schedules and
    purchasing activities.
