Material replenishment scheduling is the process of developing constrained optimized replenishment schedules to satisfy the needs of part, component, and system production. Material replenishment scheduling can include the development of part replenishment schedules while considering banking requirements, transportation routes, supplier allocations, and different replenishment strategies, including delivery to forecast, delivery to just in time (JIT), and delivery to push.
