In 1983, Oliver Wight developed MRP into manufacturing resource planning (MRP II). [3] In the 1980s, Joe Orlicky's MRP evolved into Oliver Wight's manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) which brings master scheduling, rough-cut capacity planning, capacity requirements planning, S&OP in 1983 and other concepts to classical MRP.

A master production schedule (MPS) is a plan for individual commodities to be produced in each time period such as production, staffing, inventory, etc. [1] It is usually linked to manufacturing where the plan indicates when and how much of each product will be demanded. [2] This plan quantifies significant processes, parts, and other resources ...
Capacity planning. Capacity planning is the process of determining the production capacity needed by an organization to meet changing demands for its products. [1] In the context of capacity planning, design capacity is the maximum amount of work that an organization or individual is capable of completing in a given period.
Manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) [1] is a method for the effective planning of all resources of a manufacturing company. Ideally, it addresses operational planning in units, financial planning, and has a simulation capability to answer "what-if" questions and is an extension of closed-loop MRP (Material Requirements Planning).
Rough cut. In filmmaking, the rough cut (also known as the first cut or editor's cut) [1][2] is the second of three stages of offline editing. The term originates from the early days of filmmaking when film stock was physically cut and reassembled, but is still used to describe projects that are recorded and edited digitally.
A typical MRPII construct: general planning (top) concerned with forecasts, capacity planning and inventory levels, programming (middle) concerned with calculation of workloads, rough-cut capacity planning, MPS, capacity requirements planning, traditional MRP planning, control (bottom) concerned with scheduling.
Advanced planning and scheduling. Advanced planning and scheduling (APS, also known as advanced manufacturing) refers to a manufacturing management process by which raw materials and production capacity are optimally allocated to meet demand. [1] APS is especially well-suited to environments where simpler planning methods cannot adequately ...
Planning is the process of thinking regarding the activities required to achieve a desired goal. Planning is based on foresight, the fundamental capacity for mental time travel. Some researchers regard the evolution of forethought - the capacity to think ahead - as a prime mover in human evolution. [1] Planning is a fundamental property of ...
