Managing complexity through integrative tactical planning in engineer-to-order environments: insights from four case studies

Fulfilling customer orders in engineer-to-order (ETO) settings entails customization and, thus, greater complexity: detail and uncertainty. Tactical planning aims at demand–supply (DS) balancing by...
