Time Buckets
The planning period in MPS and MRP systems is
called a time bucket
The MPS is a time-phased plan, that is, all the
data demand, orders, inventory, and so forth
are shown in a series of time buckets
Planning Horizon
The MPS has two planning horizons:
The first and shorter horizon is the one used to plan MPS
orders and to provide data which are input to MRP
system.
The second and longer horizon of the MPS is employed
when the MPS system is being used in simulation mode
for long-term, rough-cut capacity planning of personnel,
machines, warehouse space, and so forth.
