Use the Master Production Schedule
|
||
==================================
|
||
|
||
The Master Production Schedule (MPS) is a valuable tool to plan your
|
||
production based on your demand forecast.
|
||
|
||
Configuration
|
||
=============
|
||
|
||
Go to the :menuselection:`Manufacturing app --> Configuration --> Settings` and activate the Master
|
||
Production Schedule feature before hitting save.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: media/use_mps_01.png
|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
.. tip::
|
||
In the manufacturing settings, you can define the time range of your MPS (month/week/day) and the number of periods you want to display.
|
||
|
||
Now, go in :menuselection:`Planning --> Master Production Schedule` and click on add a
|
||
product. You can now define your safety stock target (= the stock you
|
||
want to have on hand at the end of the period) and the minimum and
|
||
maximum quantities to replenish.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: media/use_mps_02.png
|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
.. tip::
|
||
The products are ordered in the MPS based on their sequence. You can
|
||
rearrange that sequence by going on the list of your products and
|
||
reorganize them with drag and drop.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: media/use_mps_03.png
|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
In the MPS view, you can decide which information you would like to show
|
||
by clicking on *rows*. Some fields can be added to the view, such as
|
||
*Actual demand*, which will show which quantity of products has
|
||
already been ordered for the period, or *Available to Promise*, which
|
||
allows you to know what can still be sold during the period (what you
|
||
plan to replenish - what is already sold during the period). You can
|
||
also decide to hide some information if it isn’t necessary.

||

||
|
||
Estimate your demand and launch replenishment
|
||
=============================================
|
||
|
||
The next step is to estimate the demand for the period. This estimation
|
||
should be entered in the row *Demand Forecast*. You can easily, at any
|
||
time, compare the demand forecast with the actual demand (= confirmed
|
||
sales). The demand forecast for a finished product will impact the
|
||
indirect demand for its components.
|
||
|
||

|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
Then, the quantity to replenish for the different periods will be
|
||
automatically computed. The replenishments you are supposed to launch
|
||
based on your lead times (vendor lead time or manufacturing lead time)
|
||
are displayed in green. You can now launch the replenishment by clicking
|
||
on the replenish button.
|
||
|
||
Depending on the configuration of the product (buy vs. manufacture),
|
||
requests for quotations or manufacturing orders will be created. You can
|
||
easily access those by clicking on the *Actual Replenishment* cell.

||

|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
In case you manually edit the *To replenish* quantity, a small cross
|
||
will appear on the left. In case you want to go back to the
|
||
automatically computed value given by Odoo, you can click the cross.

|
||
Cells color signification
|
||
=========================
|
||
|
||
The cells, which are part of the *To replenish* line, can take
|
||
different colors depending on the situation:
|
||
|
||
- **Green**: quantity of products which should be replenished to reach the expected safety stock considering the demand forecast and the indirect demand forecast.
|
||
|
||
- **Grey**: replenishment order has already been generated, and its quantity still matches current data.
|
||
|
||
- **Red**: replenishment order has already been generated, and its quantity was too high considering current data.
|
||
|
||
- **Orange**: replenishment order has already been generated, and its quantity was too low considering current data.
|
||
|
||
The *Forecasted stock* line can also contain red cells, which means
|
||
the stock will be negative during the period in question.
|
||
|
||
What if I have underestimated the demand?
|
||
-----------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
You can still increase the demand forecast. It will impact the quantity
|
||
to replenish. The cell will become orange, and you’ll be able to launch
|
||
a new replenishment.
|
||
|
||
What if I have overestimated the demand?
|
||
----------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
You can decrease the demand forecast. The cell will become red to inform
|
||
you that you’ve ordered more than planned. If you’re still able to do
|
||
it, you can cancel some RFQ or MO manually.
|
||
|
||
What if I wrongly added a product to the MPS?
|
||
---------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
You can easily remove a product from the MPS by clicking the small bin
|
||
on the right of its name.
