You are currently working for a fishing rod manufacturer that has two departments (fabrication and assembly). There are 50 different end items that have 80 percent commonality. The company uses a reorder-point system. The demand is seasonal. Each year there are many stock outs and high levels of inventories (raw materials, work in process, and finished goods). Your manager has requested an analysis of this dilemma. Based on your knowledge of push and pull production systems, write a two-page memo to your manager.
