Manufacturing Plan
•Facilitate scheduling of production resources and resolve day-to-day capacity bottlenecks within the materials management system.
•Primarily, bottlenecks may result from raw materials shortages or daily capacity limitations.
•Manufacturing requirements determine the master production schedule (MPS), manufacturing requirement plan and consequently material requirement plan(MRP-I/II).
•MPS defines weekly or daily production and machine schedules, whereas MRP coordinates the purchase and arrival of materials and components to support the manufacturing plan.
•Both logistics requirements and manufacturing requirements must operate in parallel.
