About ERP Systems for Make-to-Stock (MTS)


Make-to-Stock production is carried out with reference to a forecast or according to a demand aggregated across a number of discrete MTO orders. MTS parts are always comingled in inventory. The process includes analysis, planning according to MRP logic and evaluation of the planning results. Make-to-stock manufacturing is carried out without direct reference to a sales order.

The advantage of make-to-stock is lead-time - the lead-time is zero when the customer can get the appropriate products from the stock. But if different customers need different products - in other words, in case of mass customization - make-to-stock loses its convenience. In this situation, make-to-order would be more appropriate.




Report uses by role:


IT project managers: Save time and avoid errors in the creation of high quality requirements for a software acquisition. Use the reports help develop all RFI, RFP and software tender documents.

IT Consultants: Use comprehensive criteria to determine build vs. buy analysis and perform gap analysis for legacy systems against the latest software functionality included in the reports. With ratings on over 1000 enterprise software solutions, you have access to the most comprehensive vendor data available.  

Software manufacturers and vendors: Compare your system against the combined feature set of the leaders in your category to help prioritize future development. Use as a template of included features for any software bid.
