Make to Order

In a Make to Order production environment, the product is manufactured after the receipt of a customer order. The items and quantities to be made are based on customer orders. Lead times for production are typically longer than in a Make To Stock environment. Flexible production order processing and prioritization is a must in this environment. In many cases components are purchased specifically to produce products for customers.
