The first research towards defining order fulfilment strategies was published by Hans Wortmann, [1] and was continued by Hal Mather [2] in his discussion of the P:D ratio, whereby P is defined as the production lead time, i.e. how long it takes to manufacture a product, and D is the demand lead time. D can be viewed as: The lead time quoted by ...

In this case, safety stock is calculated considering the risk of only the replenishment lead time.
Reorder level = Average daily usage rate × Lead time in days = 50 units per day × 7 days = 350 units. When the inventory level reaches 350 units an order should be placed for material. By the time the inventory level reaches zero towards the end of the seventh day from placing the order materials will reach and there is no cause for concern.
Engineer to order is a production approach characterized by: [1] Engineering activities need to be added to product lead time. Upon receipt of a customer order, the order engineering requirements and specifications are not known in detail. There is a substantial amount of design and engineering analysis required.
A blanket order, blanket purchase agreement or call-off order [1] is a purchase order which a customer places with its supplier to allow multiple delivery dates over a period of time, often negotiated to take advantage of predetermined pricing.
