To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We need research to determine (i) how to set planned lead times for flow planning in a variety of production environments; (ii) how to integrate the establishment and use of these lead times with other components of the control process, i. E. Lot- sizing, scheduling and production planning: and (iii) how to use these lead times to set "promise dates" for customer orders, and to act as an interface between the manufacturing and marketing organ i za t i ons . FLOW PLANNING: PROTECTION STOCK A pro...duction process is subject to a variety of uncertainties: in the availability of a production resource (e. G labor, equipment, material); in the output quantity and timing of a production process; and in the quantity and timing of customer demand. While clearly we will always benefit from a reduction or removal of any of these uncertainties, in lieu of this we still need to create and manage protection stocks that buffer the flow plan from disruptions caused by these uncertainties. Indeed, having models for determining how much protection stock is needed and where, may be an essential step in assessing the value of reducing the uncertainties.
