Master Production Schedule (MPS)

Master Production Planning (MPS) is a critical planning system that optimizes production processes to meet orders on time, use resources most efficiently, and minimize inventory costs. It analyzes production capacity, customer demands, and inventory levels to ensure uninterrupted and balanced progress of production processes.

MPS, which includes vital components such as demand forecasting, order management, inventory control, capacity planning and production scheduling, increases efficiency by preventing bottlenecks in production processes. Thanks to its flexible structure, it adapts quickly to changing orders and market conditions, thus reducing operational risks and providing competitive advantage.

It manages production planning end-to-end by working integrated with systems such as ERP, MRP and MES. In this way, businesses optimize production costs, control production processes and achieve sustainable growth by responding to customer demands faster.

Demand Forecasting and Order Management 

For production processes to proceed uninterruptedly and efficiently, it is critical to accurately predict customer demands and effectively plan order management. The Demand Forecast and Order Management Module analyzes past sales data, market trends and seasonal changes, making production plans more predictable and flexible. In this way, businesses optimize inventory costs by meeting customer orders on time and minimize the risk of delays in production processes.

Features

  •   Order Tracking System
  •   Demand Forecasting
  •   Order Prioritization
  •   Integration with Stock Control
  •   Automatic Order Notifications
  •   Order Delay Alerts

 

Order Tracking System
Customer orders are recorded digitally and tracked at every stage of the production process. Thus, the status of orders can be monitored and managed instantly.

Demand Forecasting:
Using past sales data and market analysis, future demand is estimated, enabling more accurate production and inventory planning.

Order Prioritization
Urgent, critical or high priority orders are identified and prioritized in the production plan. Thus, customer expectations are met on time.

Integration with Stock Control
When an order is received, the system checks stock levels and adds missing materials to the production plan. This prevents downtime due to raw material shortages during production.

Automatic Order Notifications
When new orders are recorded in the system, automatic notifications are sent to the production team. In this way, the production process is organized quickly.

Order Delay Warnings
In case of a delay in the production plan, the system automatically sends a warning to the relevant managers so that action can be taken.

Stock Management

Stock and Inventory Management

Correct management of stock levels is critical for the efficient progress of production processes. The Stock and Inventory Management Module provides instant monitoring of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products. It prevents unnecessary stock accumulation by determining minimum and maximum stock levels, detects deficiencies early and supports production continuity.

Features

  •   Stock Level Monitoring
  •   Minimum/Maximum Stock Levels
  •   Lot and Party Management
  •   Stock Movement Tracking
  •   Expiration Date Check
  •   Material Shortage Notifications

 

Stock Level Monitoring
Raw material, semi-finished product and finished product stocks are monitored instantly. Thus, production planning is optimized with up-to-date stock data.

Minimum/Maximum Stock Levels
The system automatically generates order suggestions when stock levels reach critical thresholds. It optimizes costs by preventing unnecessary stock excesses and shortages.

Lot and Batch Management
allows products to be tracked with batch numbers. Thus, the traceability of materials used in production is increased and quality processes are secured.

Stock Movement Tracking
Stock movements are controlled by recording entries and exits from the warehouse in the system. In this way, inventory accuracy is ensured and incorrect stock records are prevented.

Expiration Date Control
Materials approaching their expiration date are automatically detected and the relevant teams are informed. In this way, waste rates are reduced and production safety is increased.

Material Shortage Notifications
The system automatically creates a warning when the materials required for production are not in stock. This prevents interruptions in production processes and manages the supply chain more effectively.

Production Planning

Production Planning and Scheduling 

Correct timing and resource management are critical for efficient and uninterrupted production processes. The Production Planning and Scheduling Module optimizes which products will be produced on specific dates and how production lines will be used. In this way, labor, machine capacity and production sequence are planned in the most efficient way, minimizing the risk of delays.

Features

  •   Production Schedule
  •   Timing Optimization
  •   Shift Planning
  •   Machine Capacity Planning
  •   Production Sequence Management
  •   Production Delay Warnings

 

Production Schedule
Production activities are organized according to specified dates and shift plans. Thus, production processes proceed in an orderly and controlled manner.

Scheduling Optimization
Optimizes the work order to complete the production process in the shortest time possible, thus ensuring efficient use of machines and labor.

Shift Planning
Production shifts are planned in accordance with workforce capacity, ensuring balanced use of resources.

Machine Capacity Planning
The most appropriate production program is created by analyzing the capacity usage of the machines to be used in production. Thus, overcapacity or idle capacity is prevented.

Production Sequencing Management
Production priorities are determined and the products to be produced first are planned. Thus, urgent orders are prioritized and customer demands are met on time.

Production Delay Warnings
Any disruptions that may occur during the production process are detected by the system and automatic notifications are sent to the responsible personnel.

Resource and Capacity Planning
