MPS and µMPS are general-purpose computer system simulators based on MIPS R3000 processor. Both feature a X Window user interface, documentation, and a development kit. They have been successfully ported on several platforms.
See Master Production Schedule.
master production schedule. The schedule of manufactured items usually created to fill 'outside' demand from forecasts, customer orders and interplant orders that specifies the exact item numbers, dates and quantities for production but is not in itself a production order to be released to the floor. It considers the high-level production plan and rough cut capacity availability, and aligns with management targets for linearity and permissible level of changes. Once accepted, the MPS specifies the date and quantity requirements used by MRP to explode demand through the bill of materials. While most often for end items, variations of MPS allow planning critical lower levels such as major subassemblies based on a forecast that is then consumed by customer orders for finished goods that require those subassemblies. The MPS is the main driver for the rest of the planning and scheduling system, and the level of success in attaining a realistic MPS often indicates how well the other detailed parts of the system function.
Master Program Scheduler Multiplex The output signal from an encoder that is divided into two phases. One half is called the I multiplex, and the other is called the Q multiplex. UCS channels 0 through 4 are transmitted in the I multiplex and channels 5 through 9 are transmitted in the Q multiplex. Each multiplex contains control channel messages (messages addressed to the decoders originating from the encoder and the UCS), as well as video, audio, and data information.
Multi Purpose Service The primary objective of MPS is to provide a more flexible, coordinated and cost effective framework for service delivery by pooling State and Commonwealth funds for health and aged care services.
Master Production Schedule. An interim production schedule that is used in some systems to drive MRP for finished goods. The MPS typically considers sales forecasts, material availability, work center load, labor resources, and other constraints in order to effectively predict demand and manage resources. The MPS can be managed at the item level or by product line.
Master Production Schedule. One of the inputs to an MRP system that helps determine purchasing and production schedule.
Master Production Schedule - the plan for completion of orders for finished goods, whether for stock or customer order. In an MRP II system this is normally managed semi-manually by the 'master scheduler'.
A Multiple Property Submission is the name given to the current format for nominating groups of properties related by historical association or theme, but which are not contiguous and need not be nominated all at the same time. In 1986, this format replaced the previously used Thematic and Multiple Resource Area (TRA/MRA) formats. A MPS consists of a Multiple Property Documentation Form and its associated Registration Forms. In the following lists, properties registered as part of a Multiple Property Submission indicate the name of the MPS of which it was a part.
Master Production Scheduling takes care of those parts or products which greatly influence company profits or which take up critical resources.

Master Production Scheduling (voir PDP)
Master production schedule. The master production schedule is a line on the master schedule grid that reflects the anticipated build schedule for those items assigned to the master scheduler. The master scheduler maintains this schedule, and in turn, it becomes a set of planning numbers that drives material requirements planning. It represents what the company plans to produce expressed in specific configurations, quantities, and dates. The master production schedule is not a sales item forecast that represents a statement of demand. The master production schedule must take into account the forecast, the production plan, and other important considerations such as backlog, availability of material, availability of capacity, and management policies and goals.
