Abstract

This chapter studies balancing lean, mnixed-model supply chains. These supply chains respond to custorners' denmand by setting rates for delivery of each model and pull supplies for model production from upstream suppliers whenever needed. The chapter discusses algorithnis for obtaining balanced model delivery sequences as well as suppliers option delivery and productions sequences. It discusses various factors that shape these sequences. The chapter also explores some insights into the structure and complexity of the sequences gained through the concept of balanced words developed in word combinatorics. The chapter discusses open problems and further research.
