Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assemble-to-order environments allow for the production of basic components in advance while still offering the flexibility to customize the final product according to customer specifications. This approach balances efficiency in production with customization, differentiating it from make-to-order (where products are made from scratch post-order) and make-to-stock (where products are fully made in advance based on forecasted demand).
