MPSP

Answer Planning provides Production Control, Purchasing and Senior Management with the information needed to plan and control the Manufacturing and Distribution facilities.

This means you can maintain the correct Parts in stock, at the right time to meet all needs. It identifies both Purchasing and Manufacturing activity and has to respond to hour-by-hour, day-by-day events together with future planned activity, thus reducing the problems of over stocking unnecessary inventory.

Planning comprises three module elements:

• Master Production Schedule Planning (MPSP)
• Material Resource Planning (MRP)
• Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP)

Answer Master Production Schedule Planning (MPSP) at a single level is a useful technique for planning and generating two distinct but interrelated items of information:

• A Purchasing Plan for factored/purchased Finished Items
• A Rough Cut Capacity Plan for proposed Manufacturing Orders

The allocation of a provisional Vendor enables Vendor Purchase Schedules to be printed and the Portal Vendor enquiries to show planned activity.

Answer MPSP is used to control finished goods and assemble to order products. Using inputs from other Answer Modules, it calculates gross requirements and available to promise figures, resulting in Planned Requirements and associated actions.

As an integral component of Answer Enterprise ERP, MPSP integrates with Inventory Management and Warehousing, MRP and CRP, Sales and Purchasing, and Quality Management modules. It will ensure your high level Product or Group Product demand is managed in the optimal manner for your business.
