Abstract
In the manufacturing order management that deals with both designed components and repetitive components, hybriddecision making systems including MRP and other traditional methods are required. For those production systems which have push and pull controls can be managed using decoupling point definition and related strategies. Using Bill of Materials structure information, this paper formulizes two kinds of decoupling points, and models some definitions by clarifying itsexpressions and constraints. Finally, the paper shows some strategies for practical production management and addresses some remarks.
