A master production schedule (MPS) shows when and how much of a particular product will be needed in each period, such as production, staffing, inventory, etc. The MPS is generally related to manufacturing, and it identifies the quantity of each product needed. To optimize production, identify bottlenecks, and anticipate needs and completed goods, this plan quantifies significant processes, parts, and other resources. Profitability is affected drastically by the accuracy and viability of a MPS since it drives much of a factory’s activity.
