Inhaltsangabe

Discover how a real-world factory balances supply and demand using a practical simulation.

This book presents a simulation model that lets you step into the roles of forecasters, schedulers, and account executives. It shows how forecasts are adjusted in light of credibility, inventory pressures, and delivery expectations, then translated into production plans over a multi-month horizon. You’ll see how the interactions of customers, sales teams, and factory planners shape deliveries and schedules.

- See how forecast ideas become production plans across a six-month window.
- Learn how unexpected orders and finished inventory influence scheduling decisions.
- Explore how finished inventory acts as a buffer to stabilize delivery intervals.
- Understand the feedback loops that connect marketing, forecasting, and shop-floor execution.

Ideal for readers interested in production planning, forecasting, and the dynamics of order management in a manufacturing setting.
