ABSTRACT
Deterministic techniques are used in materials management whenever portions of the cumulative lead time remain within the customer tolerance time. This is the case, for example, with the assembly stage during the manufacture of capital goods. During this time, production, procurement or services are dependent upon customer demand. Figure 11.0.0.1 shows the relevant planning & control tasks and processes on a dark background. They refer back to the reference model in Figure 4.1.4.2.
