Master Production Schedule (MPS) : A Master Production Schedule is a Schedule of the completions of the end items and these completions are very much planned in nature. Master production schedule acts as a very distinct and important linkage between the planning processes. With the help of this schedule‚ one can know the requirements for the individual end items by date and quantity. In companies‚ MPS are generally produced in order to know the number of each product that is to be made over some

planning and scheduling production‚ which will be discussed in Part III on planning and managing operations. The approach to determining the bottleneck is illustrated in Exhibit 9.4. Start at the beginning of the system‚ and determine the capacity of the first operation or department. This is the system capacity so far. Use this capacity as the input to the next department in the sequence. Can that department take the total input from the previous department and process it completely? If it can

Job Shop Production usually refers to manufacturers that produce items that are "one of a kind"‚ for example‚ manufactures of automation systems and tooling. Manufacturers who produce a wide variety of items in very low volumes also fall into the job shop category. For example‚ very large mining trucks are produced in volumes typically less than 400 annually. Each truck has thousands of components so you can imagine that there are significant challenges in production scheduling‚ purchasing and inventory

Toyota Financial Services (TFS) recently undertook a major business transition programme to in-source its back-office functions. This required that a large number of Toyota and Lexus retail finance contracts‚ together with all their associated transaction data‚ be converted from an external IBM mainframe-based system to an in-house system. The new system was based on the Lynx "Portfolio" software package using Unix and Oracle technology. ATD consultants worked closely with TFS throughout the data
