, Manufacturing strategy
1. Engineer-to-order: customer is highly
involved inventory is purchased
when needed by manufacturing
delivery lead time is long
2. Make-to-order: process begins when
order is received
3. Configure-to-order: each customer and
order may be entirely unique no
design time
4. Assemble-to-order: inventory held
ready for assembly customer input
is limited to selecting assembly options
5. Make-to-stock: they sell from a
finished goods inventory
Postponement (application of assemble-to-order): shifts product differentiation closer to the
consumer by postponing identity change to the last possible supply chain location.

Supply chain: includes all activities and
processes to supply a product or service to
a customer.

in a supply chain
A customer can be a supplier to another
customer, so he total chain can have a
number of supplier-customer relationships

(distributors), such as warehouses,
retailers.
Product or services usually flow from supplier to customer; design, demand information, and
cash usually flow from customer to supplier
