Master Scheduling in Supply Chain Management

Master scheduling is the process of developing anticipated build schedules for specific products on a weekly basis. It takes the production plan from sales and operations planning (S&OP), which provides monthly production targets by product family, and converts it into a master production schedule (MPS) that shows the anticipated build quantities for each end item on a weekly level. The MPS drives detailed scheduling and planning activities and aims to balance production with inventory and backlog targets while respecting resource and time fence constraints.
