Master production schedule (MPS) plans items that have “direct” demand, or “independent de-mand.” With independent demand, the demand comes from sales orders, service orders, or fore-casts, and the demand comes directly from customer—or forecasted—requirements. It is the list that provides the timing of the production schedule and shows how much each machine can produce, how many shifts are used, etc.
A bill of materials (BOM) is a comprehensive inventory of the raw materials, assemblies, subas-semblies, parts and components, as well as the quantities of each, needed to manufacture a product.
