Master Production Schedule主生产计划
A master production schedule is a time-phased plan that states which finished goods will be built, in what quantities, and when they will be available; it appears in production-planning documents, ERP descriptions, and S&OP content as the link between demand and detailed material or capacity plans. Because the MPS drives component purchasing, capacity checks, and shop-floor schedules, its time buckets, quantities, units of measure, and availability dates must be translated consistently.

Where this term appears
In localization, MPS appears in ERP user manuals, production-planning process documents, and training courses for planners. Translators encounter columns for item, due date, quantity, and time fence, where the difference between 'available,' 'promised,' and 'planned' must be rendered precisely because these terms control system logic and user actions.
Translation checks
A common mistake is translating MPS as a general 'production plan' or 'schedule' without preserving its finished-goods level and time-phased nature. That can confuse readers about whether the document is authorizing component production, final assembly, or only a rough forecast, leading to incorrect planning decisions in translated work instructions or system messages.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check equipment names, units, safety instructions and interface labels against the source and approved references. Confirm any market-specific document requirements separately.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
