Make-to-stock involves producing a predetermined quantity of products without regards to specific customer orders. This means that the lowest degree of processing occurs in make-to-stock, as the products are produced in advance and then stored until they are needed. Assemble-to-stock also involves producing products in advance, but it involves assembling pre-made components, so there is slightly more processing involved than in make-to-stock. Assemble-to-order and make-to-order both involve producing products in response to specific customer orders, which requires more processing than producing products in advance.
