Abstract
A method of calculating supplies of key components based on enhancing revenues in a made to order scheme. Products are designed by identifying product components, and combining the components in various combinations. Key component supplies are calculated using an algorithm that considers demand probability of component and product as well as calculating the marginal value of each component.
