Abstract
Supply chain management is a crucial part of any production system, therefore many strategies and concepts have been developed in order to help firms make the most out of their manufacturing capacity and to fulfil the best service level for customers. However, companies still face the problem of supply chain failures. Some of the main strategies to fulfil orders that exist nowadays are make-to-order (MTO), make-to-stock (MTS), assemble-to-order (ATO) or engineer-to-order (ETO) policies. In this paper, we review the literature about methods to help stakeholders to decide if a product has to be MTO or MTS. A case study of a hybrid MTO/MTS system on an electrical component manufacturing plant, that has to consider new decision factors and constraints, is introduced.
