Make-to-Stock

Make-to-Stock is a manufacturing approach where goods are produced in anticipation of future customer demand, based on forecasting. Products are made and kept in inventory, so they are ready for quick delivery when customers place orders. This system is common for items with stable, predictable demand, like packaged foods or household products. It allows companies to provide fast service but requires accurate demand prediction to avoid overproduction or stock shortages. Essentially, the focus is on producing goods beforehand and storing them so they can be sold immediately when ordered.
