How to Create a Master Production Schedule
Summary
A robust master production schedule also supports your sales force and strengthens your businesses’ capacity to meet the needs of your customers. This schedule outlines the various processes and resources to make production move forward smoothly while identifying potential bottlenecks and creating plans to avoid them. For example, when working on items built from a larger number of components, such as a computer, the master production schedule would focus on the finished goods. Using our online Gantt chart helps you manage your product manufacturing across a timeline with resources, such as raw materials, tracked by cost to make sure you’re never overspending. For example, if a strap needs to be stitched to the body of a handbag before the embroidery can be added, you identify this dependency and link the two tasks to keep production running smoothly.
