Production Planning
Make-to-Stock (MTS)
Make-to-Stock
Strategy that produces finished goods based on forecast and holds them in inventory before customer orders arrive.
Examples
- 01Paint tins are produced make-to-stock, based on a monthly forecast, so customers can be supplied from the warehouse the same day.
- 02The monthly review checks make-to-stock items against the forecast to avoid building stock that does not sell.
- 03When a make-to-stock product falls below its reorder point, it moves up the daily production sequence.
