Available-to-promise (ATP) is a very important and critical supply chain management concept. Its purpose is to treat the actual and potential demands in a way for a company to obtain the largest possible profit. Optimization is a tool that can help in this subject and provides a reliable decision based on the availability of the production resources and the profitability of the products orders. Activity-based costing (ABC) increases the accuracy of the estimation of the profit that each product or order yields through the proper assignment of the overhead costs. This study presents a pull-based ATP optimization model to manage the actual orders effectively through the integration of ABC and mixed integer programming (MIP).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
