This paper develops scalable and effective yet simple heuristic methods for material assignment in a large discrete Build-To-Order (BTO) environment. The material assignment function allocates available supplies of raw material to orders over a period of time. Despite popular belief to the...

Today supply chains leverage their partner's competencies and in the process also inherit the risks associated with various links of a supply chain. Although it is impossible to completely eliminate various risks, an environment can be created which helps to effectively mitigate risk. The most...
