Make to Stock

In a Make to Stock production environment, the product is manufactured to completion before receipt of a customer order. Typically the items and quantities to be made are based on a forecast of demand with the advantage of this strategy being very short lead times for shipping product and very well defined production methods and times. Strong material requirements planning (MRP) and tight inventory control are mainstays of this strategy.
