Master Production Schedule in the Consumer Product Goods Industry: Benefits of APS Applications
Source abstract
Abstract
The presented article deals with the application of tools to calculate the Master Production Schedule (MPS) in the production of beverages (consumer packed goods) and its impact on the inventory profile in finite or infinite capacity. The calculation of MPS can be performed at the level of an ERP solution or with dedicated standalone planning software. The first part of the manuscript defines MPS calculations, its position in the planning hierarchy and defines reason of importance having MPS calculations in the consumer product industry. The second part of the article analyses sample data of beverage production, calculates MPS for each item and compares the results of finite/infinite capacity utilization. In the last part of the manuscript, authors discuss if the challenges described in introduction part of the article can be addressed with specific planning solution to calculate MPS.
