Q

Approaches to MPS

A
Chase strategy

Produce as demanded 

Level strategy

Maintain constant output rate

Level strategy is used in JIT (Just-in-time) for 
rate-based MPS

Q

The bills of materials (BOM) for specific end

items are replaced

A
with a planning bill of 
materials, which represents the potential product 
combinations
One type of planning BOM is the 
super bill
, 
which describes the usage of options and 
components that make up the 
average
 product

Q

When a planning BOM is used,

A
the final 
assembly schedule (FAS) is often used

FAS states the set of end products to be built 
over a time period
Two-level MPS coordinates component 
production and the FAS

Component production is controlled by the 
MPS with a planning BOM

Final assembly is controlled by the FAS

Q

A stable MPS translates

A

to stable component
schedules

Stability allows improved plant performance

Excessive MPS changes can lead to reduced
productivity

Failure to change the MPS in response to
demand changes can lead to reduced
customer service and increased inventory
