BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: What is Lean Make to Order?
This is a simple way to go from the customer order to making the order and shipping the order. It involves a few simple steps:
- Receive and enter the customer order
- Automatic credit review
- Automatic release of the shop order tied to the customer order
- Issue material, report labor to the production order receipt
- Pick the order, ship the order, invoice the customer
With lean, you can skip processing the demand through MRP. You can go directly from the customer order to the shop order creation.
