In inventory control and production planning one is tempted to use one of two strategies: produce all demand to stock or produce all demand to order. The disadvantages are well-known. In the ‘make everything to order’ case (MTO) the response times may become quite long if the load is high, in the ‘make everything to stock’ case (MTS) one gets an enormous inventory if the number of different products is large.
