| Abstract: | Traditionally automotive assembly plants operate with at least 2 weeks of frozen vehicle orders enabling them to calculate the material needed for the next 2 weeks. Implementing a pull system between the plant and its customers, and level material shipping between the plant and its suppliers changes the amount of material buffer needed within the assembly plant. The authors model these effects to derive formulas for the buffer needed to provide a given service level in the face of demand variability. |
