Master Production Schedule
 Drives MRP process with a schedule of
finished products
 Quantities represent production not demand
 Quantities may consist of a combination of
customer orders and demand forecasts
 Quantities represent what needs to be
produced, not what can be produced
 Quantities represent end items that may or
may not be finished products

Time-phased Bills
Forward scheduling: start at today‘s date and schedule forward to determine
the earliest date the job can be finished. If each item takes one period to
complete, the clipboards can be finished in three periods
Backward scheduling: start at the due date and schedule backwards to
determine when to begin work. If an order for clipboards is due by period three,
we should start production now

Relaxing MRP Assumptions
 Material is not always the most constraining
resource
 Lead times can vary
 Not every transaction needs to be recorded
