Explanation:

The sales and operations planning (S&OP) process is a cross-functional process that aligns the demand and supply plans of an organization. The S&OP process consists of several steps, such as data gathering, demand planning, supply planning, pre-S&OP meeting, executive S&OP meeting, and S&OP implementation. Once the S&OP process has been completed, the executive S&OP meeting approves the final production plan, which is the output of the supply planning step. The production plan is a statement of the resources needed to meet the aggregate demand plan over a medium-term horizon. The functional responsibility of operations is to meet the revised production plan by developing and executing the master production schedule (MPS) and the detailed schedules. The MPS is a statement of the specific end items to be produced in each time period of the short-term horizon. The detailed schedules are the statements of the specific materials, resources, and activities needed to execute the MPS.Reference: CPIM Exam Content Manual Version 7.0, Domain 4: Plan and Manage Supply, Section 4.1: Develop Supply Plans, Subsection 4.1.2: Describe how to develop a production plan (page 36).
