The manufacturer does this by forecasting the end customer demand over the whole supply chain lead time and review period. The manufacturer releases an order to the production system that arrives after the production lead time. As soon as production is completed, it is immediately pushed to the distributor, arriving after the transportation lead time. We quantify the dynamics of this system via the order and inventory variances and conduct an economic analysis.}, }
