摘要
Choosing the appropriate production and inventory control strategy is a key factor for the success of modern enterprises. Some industries adopt a Make-To-Order (MTO) policy to improve their punctuality and flexibility, while others adopt a Make-To-Stock (MTS) policy to minimise and control the inventory. This study proposes a hybrid strategy combining MTS and MTO with prioritisation. In the proposed strategy, the pull policy is considered for regular demands while a push policy with priority is applied to customers who notify their demand needs in advance. Through a set of simulation experiments this strategy is proved to be of great effectiveness. © 2010 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
