month.

● The production scheduling process is named Segmentation. The
Segmentation process allocates due date to the car assembly for a time
horizon of 6 weeks. In this process, firm orders are taking into account.
Finally, the sequencing process is done.

steps (firm orders) are postponed until as late as possible (segmentation
process), allowing for mass production economies at earlier stages.
