摘要:AbstractA relevant task in the assembling industry is the management of the Available-To-Promise (ATP) quantity of the numerous components needed for Finished Products (FP) to reduce inventory costs and Order-To-Delivery (OTD) lead time. This issue is more and more important as both the fast launch of new products and a high variety of products are a source of competitive advantage, despite they increase the complexity of the component management. This paper proposes a Decision Support System (DSS) to help managers to identify the sets of FPs able to balance the components ATP quantities, meanwhile reducing OTD lead times.
