“…(2) Job shop, defined by Reiter (1966) as "a collection of specific skills and equipment which stands ready to sell its services to customers on order", where the volume of production remains low, but the equipment is of far higher cost and quality, and operators are specialists.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the existing scenarios for 3D printing (3DP) in order to identify the "white space" where future opportunities have not been proposed or developed to date. Based around aspects of order penetration points, geographical scope and type of manufacturing, these gaps are identified. Design/methodology/approach -A structured literature review has been carried out on both academic and trade publications. As of the end of May 2016, this identified 128 relevant articles containing 201 future scenarios. Coding these against aspects of existing manufacturing and supply chain theory has led to the development of a framework to identify "white space" in the existing thinking. Findings -The coding shows that existing future scenarios are particularly concentrated on job shop applications and pull-based supply chain processes, although there are fewer constraints on geographical scope. Five distinct areas of "white space" are proposed, reflecting various opportunities for future 3DP supply chain development. Research limitations/implications -Being a structured literature review, there are potentially articles not identified through the search criteria used. The nature of the findings is also dependent upon the coding criteria selected. However, these are theoretically derived and reflect important aspect of strategic supply chain management. Practical implications -Practitioners may wish to explore the development of business models within the "white space" areas. Originality/value -Currently, existing future 3DP scenarios are scattered over a wide, multi-disciplinary literature base. By providing a consolidated view of these scenarios, it is possible to identify gaps in current thinking. These gaps are multi-disciplinary in nature and represent opportunities for both academics and practitioners to exploit.

“…For the path containing (1, k) -(2, k), we have (18), (19), (20), (21) and (22) that x' is still optimal, but the index of the last critical sublot is less than k in N(x'). This yields a contradiction with the definition of x.…”

“…The term was introduced by Reiter [19], but the idea has been considered many times under different names. The increased interest in its applications over the last few years is probably due to the fact that it is consistent with the Just-In-Time (JIT) philosophy of making small or single unit sublots and it also agrees with the basic idea of the commercially successful OPT scheduling package [8], [10].…”

“…Thus (2, k) and (2, s) are lower and upper critical corners, respectively, unless k = 0 or k = s. If k # 0 and k # s, then from Observations 1 and 2, we get s s -1 PI L Xi < P2 L Xi i=k+I i=k s s -1 and P2 L Xi 2: p3 L Xi . 16 i=k+I i=k…”
