Simulation of order scheduling under hybrid order fulfillment strategy

In recent aggressive competition age, automobile manufacturing industries are trying to implement innovative strategies compare to traditional build-to-forecast to cut large order fulfillment time (lead times). The research work here concentrates on the discrete-event-simulation of order-scheduling process in automobile industry and try to explore the possibilities of innovative strategies for optimization of order scheduling and hence lead-times. It gives detailed analysis of order fulfillment process and strategies through practical case studies in automotive industries. It introduces new hybrid strategy, which is supported by results obtained in simulation model.
