Resumen

High-value-added manufacturing companies deal with a competitive environment where traditional order fulfillment processes, performed through fixed decoupling points systems i.e. ETO, MTO, ATO, MTS, are not a viable possibility. The paper gives a comprehensive overview of the research advances achieved in the field of production operational strategies for high-value-added manufacturing companies, identifying key research issues as well as key research approaches to deal with them. Derived from a structured analysis, relevant uncovered research issues have been identified. Furthermore, the great potential benefit that the adaptation of such special order fulfillment approaches could create on traditional sectors has been highlighted. Keywords: Floating decoupling points, Make-to-forecast (MTF), Virtual-build-to-order (VBTO)
