MPS
MPS: Constraint-Based Production Scheduling
MPS is a modular advanced production planning application designed to synchronize plans with real production data. It solves the problem of inconsistency between demand and actual production capacity.
MPS is a finite-capacity master production scheduling system for manufacturers running SAP, Oracle, or JD Edwards, built by Share IT Smart (Arad, Romania).
MPS is not an ERP or a MES. It does not take orders or execute work. It turns ERP order data into a feasible finite-capacity schedule using constraint programming, and writes it back to SAP, Oracle, or JD Edwards.
Production Planning Shouldn't Be This Fragile
Manufacturing planners face these challenges daily β and ERP alone isn't the answer
Plans Disconnected from Reality
ERP creates the schedule, but the shop floor creates reality. The gap between planned and actual production grows every hour.
Excel Fills the Gap
Planners maintain parallel spreadsheets because the ERP schedule can't keep up. Every replan is manual, error-prone, and undocumented.
Schedule Nervousness
Replanning 3x per week but quality of plans doesn't improve. Operators stop trusting the schedule and improvise their own priorities.
The Baseline Disappears
Nobody can say what the original schedule promised. The reference plan is quietly rewritten to match reality, destroying accountability.
How MPS Solves It
Four pillars that transform your production planning from guesswork to mathematically optimal scheduling
Constraint Programming
Mathematically optimal schedules that respect real constraints: capacity, materials, tooling, labor, and delivery dates simultaneously.
ERP-Native Integration
Reads orders and BOM from your ERP, writes back feasible schedules. SAP, Oracle, JDE β no middleware, no manual sync.
What-If Scenarios
Compare multiple scheduling scenarios before committing. See the impact of rush orders, machine breakdowns, or capacity changes in minutes.
Continuous Sync
Production execution data flows back to keep the schedule honest. Not a one-time plan β a living schedule that adapts to reality.
Constraint-Based Scheduling That Works in the Real World
MPS uses constraint programming to generate production schedules that respect all real-world constraints simultaneously β capacity, materials, tooling, labor, and delivery dates.
- Finite capacity planning across all resources
- Material availability and BOM validation
- Tooling and changeover constraint modeling
- Delivery date optimization with priority rules
- Multi-plant support with cross-site balancing

Keep Your Schedule Honest with Real-Time Data
MPS connects to shop floor execution systems to maintain a living schedule. Production data flows back continuously, so your plan always reflects what's actually happening.
- Real-time production status updates
- Automatic deviation detection and alerting
- Dynamic schedule adjustment on deviations
- ERP writeback of updated feasible schedules
Test Every Decision Before You Commit
Run what-if analyses to understand the impact of changes before they happen. Compare multiple scheduling scenarios side-by-side and choose the best trade-off for your business.
- Rush order impact analysis
- Capacity change simulation
- Material delay assessment
- Side-by-side scenario comparison with trade-off metrics
