In an assemble-to-order manufacturing environment, the master production schedule (MPS) generally focuses on the final assembly. This is because the components and subassemblies are produced based on forecasts or orders, but the final assembly is scheduled only after an actual customer order is received. Therefore, the MPS schedules the timing and quantity of the final assembly operations to meet customer delivery dates.
MPS may supply components and sub-assy but the schedule should show week wise final assembly
According to Book : The focus of master scheduling in assemble-to-order is on scheduling the manufacture of the modules or components and on final assembly. In such cases, the efficient basis for the master production schedule is to schedule the limited number of components.
