Abstract
The master schedule is a time-phased planning chart that presents planned demand of designated master planning items. These designated, or assigned items, can be finished goods, such as a television set, a planned module, such as a transmission, or an option, such as a sun roof. Although the terms “master schedule” and “master production schedule” are commonly used synonymously, there is a distinction between the two terms. While the master schedule is a planning chart, the master production schedule is the anticipated build schedule driving material requirements planning.
