Abstract :
The problem of satisfying customers demand in pull serial production lines is addressed. The level of demand satisfaction is quantified by the due-time performance (DTP), which is defined as the probability to ship to the customer a required number of parts during a fixed time interval. The definitions of DTP bottlenecks are introduced and a method for their identification is developed
