Master Production Schedule

Interaction between demand management and master production scheduling (MPS) are frequent and

detailed. As customer orders are received and entered into MPS, the detailed order information should

be provided to the master production scheduler as the orders occur. An effective master production

schedule in eresource ERP provides the basis for making good use of manufacturing resources, making

customer delivery promises, resolving trade-off between sales and manufacturing, and attaining the

firm’s strategic objectives as reflected in the sales and operations plan. Similarly, in eresource ERP

demand management needs information on the status of orders, capacity consumed, and capacity

available so customer can be kept information. Details vary significantly between make-to-order,

assemble-to-order, and make make-to-stock. In all conditions, the underlying concept is that forecasts

are consumed over time by actual customer orders.

Eresource ERP Master Production Scheduling system is used in conjunction with Material Requirements

Planning (MRP) to schedule finished goods production and raw materials requirements when and where

they are required.

The Production Process definition in eresource.

In eresource, the Production process starts from setting up the Production process parameters.

Eresource ERP is scalable enabling users to configure the production process for any Item as required.

The lead time of an production operation for a product is defined;

The executing time is the linear sum of the following segment times;

• Start Time

• End Time

• Process Time

On the basis of the parameters defined here, the system computes the duration of individual operation

of the product.


Product and Material Definition in eresource

Product Defination is an integral part of the ERP Production process and Material Requirement

management, and thus requires a detailed explanation in the setup process, not only from the master

data point of view but also for transactional processes.

We will therefore describe how eresource handles finished product Management

The product Defination in eresource can be extended and described in the following manner

• Basic Product Information : Basic product information includes search key values, Description,

Product Categorizaion, Unit of measurement, EAN

• Production Process : This refers to the process that takes to manufacture the product and time

taken in each of the processes

• Product BOM (Bill of Material) : More advanced products would include BOM kits that are made

up of other products (referred to as BOM components)

• IPQC and FGQC process : IPQC refers to In-process-Quality-Check and FGQC to Finished Quality

Check. Here the parameters of IPQC and FGQC is defined with the acceptable tolerance.


• Product Business Partner: This describes additional information used when product Is

manufactured and purchased.

• Product Replenishment: This describes the rules of how a product would be replenished. This

would, for instance, include minimum and maximum quantities to hold in stock.

Forecasts Consumed by orders

Observe in above figure that the lines for three different environments are quite different in

eresource ERP.

• For the Make-to-order environment, there are very few actual customer orders, thus demand is

generally satisfied from inventory. This reflects the need to manage the finished goods

inventory.

• For the assemble-to-order environment, there are customer orders already booked for several

periods into the future. This reflects the need to provide accurate delivery promise dates the

customers.

• Still different demand management problems confront the firm with a make-to-order

environment, even though there’s a larger backlog of customer orders. Communication

between the firm and the customer first involves engineering, as orders become completely

specified, and then project management status and delivery date promising.


eresource ERP provides you the provision to create Master Production scheduling on the bases of Sales

order, Forecast or Both. For a particular time period you are allow to do Production Scheduling. All finish

material requirement get filtered out on the click of Consolidated Requirement Item Name Wise.

A Mfg Order No. which is system generated gets populated which is customer specific and its sales order

no. In eresource ERP you have provision to schedule a plan Qty and system will auto generate the

pending Qty. System will tell the start and end date of each and every particular Mfg Order No.

Master Production Scheduling in MPC system

The above figure presents a partial schematic for the complete manufacturing planning and control

system which is showing the linkages to master production scheduling. The detailed schedule produced

by the MPS which drives the entire engine and back-end system, as well as the rough-cut capacity

planning activity.

The linkage to the eresource ERP system of the firms is shown as indirect, but they are important. The

role of MPS in eresource ERP system is the same as we have described here: disaggregating the sales

and operations plan, creating a statement of the output from the factory, and providing the information

for coordinating sales and manufacturing.

The demand management block in above figure represents a company’s forecasting, order entry, order

promising and physical distribution activities. Demand management collects data on all sources of

demand for manufacturing capacity: customer orders, forecasts of future customer orders, warehouse

replenishments, interplant transfer, spare parts requirements and so forth. These forecasts in eresource

ERP are summarized and provided to sales and operations planning.

In eresource ERP sales and operations planning the forecasts from demand management will be

consolidated and incorporated into sales and operations plan.

Capacity Planning and Daily Route Availability

Capacity planning involves an analysis of the master production schedule to discover the existence of

any manufacturing resources that represent potential bottlenecks in the production flow. This is a

eresource Linkage that provides a rough evaluation of potential capacity problems with a particular

MPS. The disaggregation of the operations plan into production plans for specific product defines the

product minx that will be produced. These plans in eresource ERP also provide the basic demand

forecast for each MPS production unit. The eresource MPS, in turn, provides the input data to the

material requirements planning system. The MPS, then, is the driver of all the detailed manufacturing

activities needed to meet the output objectives of the firm.

Eresource ERP Master Production Scheduling system quickly and accurately schedules all item

requirements for each manufacturing facility.


Some of the benefits of using Master Production Schedule module are it helps last minute scheduling,

shortage avoidance, efficient allocations of resources and cost control. It gives the customer timely

information on what they need and when they need. Eresource ERP's MPS module organizes what the

customer need to do and when efficiently. The schedule can be re-calculated easily when a process fails,

for example, the situations like a material shortage or manpower absence.
