Master planning allows companies to determine and balance the future need for raw materials and capacity to meet company goals. Master planning assesses which raw materials and capacities are currently available, and which raw materials and capacities are required to complete production. For example, what must be manufactured, purchased, transferred, or set aside as safety stock before you can complete production.
