A Simulation-Optimization Model For Capacity Coordination In Make To Stock/Make To Order Production Environments

Capacity coordination, as the tactical level of hierarchical production planning in hybrid MTS/MTO systems, includes numerous important decisions. In this paper, two of these decisions i.e. finding the best strategy for the acceptance/rejection of incoming orders and determining orders’ due dates – are investigated. Also a simulation model is proposed to evaluate the efficiency of the presented...

Multi-site production planning in hybrid make-to-stock/make-to-order production environment

Today competitive environment has enforced practitioners and researchers to pay great attention to issues enhancing both production and marketing competitiveness. To do so, it has been obligatory for the firms to consider production side activities while customer requirements are on the other side of competition. In this regard, hybrid make-to-stock (MTS)/make-to-order (MTO) production systems ...

Optimal and near-optimal inventory control policies for a make-to-order inventory-production system

This paper examines several inventory replenishment policies for a make-to-order inventory–production system that consists of a production workshop and a warehouse. Demands arrive to the production workshop according to a Poisson process, and are processed in an FCFS manner. The production workshop requires that the warehouse provides, as needed, raw materials for use in the production process....

A Batch-wise ATP Procedure in Hybrid Make-to-Order/Make-to-Stock Manufacturing Environment

Satisfying customer demand necessitates manufacturers understanding the importance of Available-To-Promise (ATP). It directly links available resources to customer orders and has significant impact on overall performance of a supply chain. In this paper, an improvement of the batch-mode ATP function in which the partial fulfillment of the orders is available will be proposed. In other words, in...
