Throughput Time Characteristics of Rush Orders and their Impact on Standard Orders

The focus of this paper is to present modeling approaches for the rush and standard orders’ throughput times. An additional aim is the modeling of a critical rush order share. Starting with a literature review on rush orders, we present an overview of the existing literature which deals with the production planning and control (PPC) and the modeling of the logistic targets of rush orders. Then we present a modeling approach for rush and standard orders’ production throughput times. The last section of this paper deals with the problem of the modeling of a critical rush order share.
