Previously, in literature, different production strategies for customer order fulfillment have been discussed. These strategies can be classified as Make-to-Stock (MTS), Make-to-Order (MTO), Assemble-to-Order (ATO) and Engineer to Order (ETO) [42, 43]. These strategies differ with respect to where stock is held in the system and where the production system is decoupled from customer order [44]. The adoption of these strategies depends on the customer’s willingness to wait as discussed by Mather in his P/D ratio, where he compares the production system’s response time (P) to the customers’ willingness to wait (D) [45]. Company’s decision to adopt any of these approaches is of great strategic importance [46] as it strongly affects the way a
