A prominent example is the traditional determination of ATP based on the Master Production Schedule.

A master production schedule (MPS) is a plan for individual commodities to produce in each time period such as production, staffing, inventory, etc.

Master production schedule (MPS)

MRP and MRPII systems draw on a master production schedule, the breakdown of specific plans for each product on a line.

Supports Materials Requirements Planning (MRP I) functionality with a master production schedule and reports suggesting purchase and works orders.

For these products, two different schedules are required: master production schedule (MPS) for end-item components and final assembly schedules (FAS) for shippable products.

A consistent car definition is essential for the production planning and control in the automotive industry, to generate a master production schedule, which is the fundament for the enterprise resource planning.

In the MRP II (or MRP2) concept, fluctuations in forecast data are taken into account by including simulation of the master production schedule, thus creating a long-term control.

That is why using MRP to schedule the execution of production orders is by definition a push system because releases are made according to a master production schedule without regard to system status.

If there are any errors in the inventory data, the bill of materials (commonly referred to as 'BOM') data, or the master production schedule, then the output data will also be incorrect ("GIGO": Garbage In, Garbage Out).

Output 1 is the "Recommended Production Schedule" which lays out a detailed schedule of the required minimum start and completion dates, with quantities, for each step of the Routing and Bill Of Material required to satisfy the demand from the Master Production Schedule (MPS).
