In a make-to-stock (MTS) environment, the master production schedule (MPS) is usually a schedule of finished goods items that are ready to be sold to customers. Phantom items, component/subassembly items, and raw material items are not typically scheduled in the MPS, but rather in the material requirements planning (MRP) system, which is driven by the MPS.
