Master Production Scheduling (MPS)

As a key component of material requirements planning (MRP), JustEnough’s Master Production Scheduling solution translates your business plan into a demand-driven manufacturing schedule. The schedule shows you what products need to be made, when they need to be made, how much material it will take and how much cash is needed.

You can also input your resultant production schedule back into the demand planning process. JustEnough will constrain sales and inventory plans based on what can actually be produced at your plant and then determine how much stock you need to carry to meet your demand.

		Blending Art and Science JustEnough understands that building an efficient production schedule requires combining the art of running your production with the science of a demand planning. While science can produce a schedule based on demand, you still need the flexibility for management to manually refine the planning as needed. For example, the factory manager may know that a certain supplier only delivers on Tuesdays so he may need to swap production runs or, you know that your raw materials supplier is closing for the holidays and you need to increase production. JustEnough lets you account for constraints such as these to ensure that forecasts and inventory are adjusted accordingly.

		JustEnough MPS Engine JustEnough uses a range of sophisticated algorithms to find the optimal production configuration out of the millions of permutations incorporating environmental, production line and configuration constraints.
