Abstract

The purpose of this case is to introduce the significance of delivery as a profit-generating factor and to recognise the complications of setting accurate due dates. The case study provides a sufficient description of the order processing procedure for a detailed analysis to be undertaken into all the factors which contribute to the total time it takes for an incoming order to be completed: design, paperwork, transport, queueing, waiting for parts etc. The analysis covers the complex queueing relationships which develop between lead time, current load, current priorities and future order book.
