Abstract

PT. Semen Padang is a company that produces cement. In producing cement, of course we need a master production schedule to plan and produce outputs related to quantity and time periods. In other words, the master production schedule is a plan that identifies the quantity of certain items made by a company. The subject studied in this case was PT Semen Padang, where PT Semen Padang has not used precise calculations based on the rules and formulas for making a master production schedule so that the production department does not have a reference in conducting the cement production process. In this research, what will be done is making the master production schedule for 2017 using historical data three years earlier. From observations made precisely in the Production Planning and Evaluation (PEP) section, that the company’s production planning is good enough. Every day the company always takes stock data from every factory in Indarung, starting from Indarung II / III, Indarung IV, V, and Indarung VI. The method used by the company is a calculation based on historical data taken every day, and with estimates based on stock data taken every day.
