Single-Period Multi-Product Assemble-to-Order Systems with Common Components and Uncertain Demand Patterns
We consider a single-period assemble-to-order (ATO) system that produces two types of endproducts to satisfy two independent and stochastic customer orders. Each type of product is used to fulfill a particular customer order and these two products share a common component. We consider a realistic situation in which one customer may confirm his/her order before the other one, and the manufacturer needs to make a commitment immediately, upon the receipt of each customer order, on how many products to be delivered. We propose a model for optimizing the inventory and production decisions under the above ATO environment. We develop a procedure for solving the proposed problem and also conduct numerical studies that provide interesting insights on the magnitude of the potential risk-pooling effect.
