A novel concept to balance and tradeoff between make-to-stock and make-to-order has been hybrid MTS/MTO production context. One of the most important decisions involved in the hybrid MTS/MTO environment is determining whether a product is manufactured to stock, to order, or hybrid MTS/MTO strategy. In this paper, a model based on analytic network process is developed to tackle the addressed dec...

This paper contains a production and inventory planning model with lot sizing in an RMG factory. is example of mixed integer linear programming. The primary goal this approach, which combines the make-to-order (MTO) make-to-stock (MTS) methods are to simultaneously satisfy existing customer orders new order reduce total cost. Here, systems becoming more common since they allow businesses increa...

We develop a framework for determining whether the production process should be designed as make-to-stock (MTS) and/or make-to-order (MTO), given the firm’s assessment of market preferences for standard product designs and custom product designs and the firm’s production capabilities in terms of efficient versus flexible production. These process and product design decisions can in turn impact ...

In this paper, we present a unified framework for production planning and scheduling in make-to-order manufacturing. Both planning and scheduling problems are captured as resource-constrained project scheduling problems. The actual models and solution techniques are different at the two levels. Hence, we also suggest an aggregation method that provides the connection between planning and schedu...

This research investigates the impact of electronic replenishment strategy on the operational activities and performance of a two-stage make-to-order supply chain. We develop simulation-based rolling schedule procedures that link the replenishment processes of the channel members and apply them in an experimental analysis to study manual, semi-automated, and fully automated e-replenishment stra...
