| Abstract: | The important requirement of quoting short and accurate lead times to customers in industrial supply chains is a difficult challenge as it requires coordination between purchasing, order-entry, scheduling and inventory-control groups. The author meets this challenge at a laminate plant where the customer demands (in timing and quantity) are variable, the production processes have uncertain yield, the variety of products is high, and manufacturing involves significant switch-over costs and times between products. |
