3.5. In the example given on page 47 earlier in the chapter, the MPS was unsatisfactory because there were poor inventory balances compared to the production plan. There was also a stockout for product C in periods 2 and 3 . Revise the production plans for the three products to cut out or reduce these problems. This schedule is satisfactory for the following reasons: - It tells the plant when to start and stop prodoction of individual items. - Capacity is consistent with the production plan. It is unsatisfactory for the following reasons: - It has a poot inventory balance compared to total ieventory. - It restalts in a stockout for prodact C in periods 2 and 3. The term master prodiction schedile refers to the last line of the makrix. The term masfer soledulierg refers to the process of arriving at that line. Thes, the total matrix is: called a master schedule. Example Problem The Hotshot Lightning Rod Company makes a family of two lightning rods, Models H and 4. It bases its production planning on weeks. For the present manth, production is leveled at 1000 units. Opening inventory is 500 units, and the plan is to reduce that to 300 units by the end of the month. The MPS is made using weekly periods. There are 4 weeks in this month, and podoction is to be leveled at 250 units per week. The forecast and projected available for the two lightning roos follows. Caiculate an Mps for each iten.
