In an assemble-to-order (ATO) environment, the most assured means to achieving sustained higher fill rates is to focus on which of the following policies?
You are correct that having the right stocks of components is crucial in an assemble-to-order (ATO) environment. While A. Safety stock is important, it specifically refers to keeping extra inventory as a buffer to account for variability in demand or lead time. In an ATO environment, postponement (option B) is still the most assured means of achieving sustained higher fill rates, as it allows for greater flexibility and responsiveness to customer demands by delaying final assembly until orders are received. This approach, combined with effective inventory management, including safety stock, helps to maximize fill rates.
I am not sure what the answer is but I do NOT think its expediting. This is a strange question.
