Assemble to Order

In an Assemble to Order production environment, the product’s major components are manufactured to a subassembly level and placed in stock. Upon receipt of a customer order the specific configuration the customer ordered is run through a final assembly phase and shipped. The subassemblies are based on a forecast of demand with the advantage of this strategy being short lead times for shipping a product, but with a good degree of flexibility. Strong material requirements planning (MRP), tight inventory control and flexible production order processing are essential in this strategy.
