Scheduling and Due-Date Quotation in a MTO Supply Chain
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a manufacturer, served by a single supplier, who has to quote due dates to arriving customers in a maketo-order production environment. The manufacturer is penalized for long lead times and for missing due dates. To meet due dates, the manufacturer has to obtain components from a supplier. We model this manufacturer and supplier as a two-machine flow shop, consider several variations of this problem, and design effective due-date quotation and scheduling algorithms for centralized and decentralized versions of the model. We perform extensive computational testing to assess the effectiveness of our algorithms and to compare the centralized and decentralized models to quantify the value of centralized control in a make-to-order supply chain. Since complete information exchange and centralized control is not always practical or cost-effective, we explore the value of partial information exchange for this system. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

MTO-MTS Production Systems in Supply Chains
Increasing cost pressures have led supply chain managers to focus on running increasingly lean and efficient supply chains, with minimal inventory. Indeed, more and more firms are relying on pull or make-toorder (MTO) supply chains to minimize cost and waste. At the same time, increasing competitive pressures are leading to an increased emphasis on customer service. An important element of cust...
متن کاملInventory positioning, scheduling and lead-time quotation in supply chains
We consider supply chain networks composed of several centrally managed production facilities as well as external suppliers. We design effective heuristics for inventory positioning, order sequencing, and short and reliable due-date quotation for this supply chain. We perform extensive computational testing to assess the effectiveness of our algorithms, and we explore the impact of supply chain...

متن کاملCentralized Versus Decentralized Scheduling and Due Date Quotation in a Make-to-Order Supply Chain
Although there is a vast and growing amount of literature on supply chain coordination, the majority of this literature focuses on make-to-stock systems and performance measures built around service and inventory levels. On the other hand, an increasing number of supply chains are better characterized as make-to-order systems. Fast and on-time delivery is obviously critical for any firm that op...
