| Abstract: | A methodology to control manufacturing lead times is developed. Past approaches concentrate on scheduling orders through the shop floor to meet their specified delivery dates. This is clearly sub-optimal since it covers only a part of the total lead time. A higher level approach in which the order book is deliberately moulded into a shape that can be produced profitably, is more appropriate. This should be achieved at the consumer enquiry stage, when prices and delivery dates to be quoted are determined. Hence a structural approach is adopted which includes customer orders planning and job release functions. |
