So How Do We Determine the Interval? An Example: Murphy's Toys Trim Data Interval and Capacity Balancing Work (Operator Balance Charts) Lot Sizing as Part of Scheduling Applying the EPEI to Traditional Planning Systems: The Period Order Quantity Mix Issues Volume Variability Mix Variability Making Sense of High-Mix Value Streams What Do We Gain by Increasing the Interval?
