Capable-to-promise (CTP) is a type of order fulfillment policy that confirms a customer order based on the available capacity and inventory, as well as the current production plan and schedule. CTP calculates the earliest possible delivery date for a customer order, considering the existing demand and supply situation. CTP allows a company to accept an order that exceeds the current available inventory, as long as it can produce the remaining quantity within the customer’s requested delivery time. CTP helps to improve customer service, reduce inventory costs, and increase production efficiency12.

To minimize the total time, eliminating setup time provides the greatest impact. The setup time (2 hours) is a fixed time block, and eliminating it immediately reduces the total time needed, while changes in efficiency or processing time yield more gradual improvements.

“Required time = Setup time + (Processing time × Batch size) / (Utilization × Efficiency)”

An X-bar chart is a type of control chart that is used to determine the average value of a group of units. It is also known as a mean chart. It plots the sample means of subgroups of units over time and compares them with the center line and the control limits. An X-bar chart is useful for monitoring the central tendency of a process and detecting any shifts or trends in the process mean. It is often used in conjunction with an R-chart, which measures the subgroup variation. References:
