 The approved output of the distribution requirements planning (DRP) process is an input to the master production planning (MPS) process. The DRP process determines the quantity and timing of finished goods to be delivered to each distribution center or warehouse to meet customer demand1. The output of the DRP process is a distribution schedule that specifies the planned delivery dates and quantities of products2. The distribution schedule is then used as an input to the MPS process, which determines the quantity and timing of end items to be produced at each manufacturing facility3. The MPS process balances the demand from the distribution schedule with the available capacity and resources of the production system3. The output of the MPS process is a master production schedule that specifies the planned production dates and quantities of end items3.
