A master production scheduling management system and method for efficiently generating
master production schedules (MPSs) is provided. The system includes a plurality
of client computers (3), an MPS management server (1), a database
server (4) and a communication network (2) interconnecting the client
computers, the database server, and the MPS management server. The MPS management
server obtains data from external information systems by use of a data retrieving
module (100), generates an original MPS based on the obtained data, and
amends the original MPS to be an optimized MPS by simulating rough-cut capacity
planning (RCCP) and material requirements planning (MRP). Employing the present
invention, users can amend MPSs in time by simulating RCCPs and MRPs and arrange
production schedules efficiently.
