Master Scheduling
The Master schedule is the third pillar in the
Sales and Operations Plan. Here we balance the demand for inventory and sales with capacity. If capacity cannot meet demand, then you are failing on customer service; equally, if capacity is too high for demand, you
are not maximising overhead recovery. Recycling the Sales and Operations Plan is the best way of redressing this imbalance, but before doing so we must be certain that the Master Schedule is an accurate and
effective record of what the Supply Chain can achieve.
