Abstract

Reliable delivery date promises offer supply chains a chance to differentiate from competitors. Order planning therefore not only aims at short-term profit maximization, but also at robustness. For planning purposes different preventive measures are proposed to enhance robustness if order- and resource-related uncertainty is present. With regard to profit and robustness this paper analyzes the interaction of preventive measures applied in capable-to-promise approaches.
