FUNCTION:

• Translate current business, sales forecasts and market demand (including historical sales) into a Master Production Plan (MPP) with a Resource Requirements Plan (RRP).

• Summarize and communicate resource requirements, timing and impact to the organization.
• Facilitate information processing by modifying the Material Requirement Planning (MRP) system to create a finite loading model of the operational throughput.
• Verify the accuracy of the scheduling output from the (MRP) system to ensure proper work center loading and timing that will meet customer shipment dates.

• Publication and communication of Master Production Plan and capacity plans (RCCP and CRP) to appropriate levels of the organization.
• Changes to the Master Production Plan are mitigated and disruptions to the CRP and weekly/monthly production schedule are minimized.
• MRP accuracy and feasibility where available capacity is maximized and utilized to the benefit of the business.
