In what order does RapidResponse allocate supply to the production wheel?

In the context of RapidResponse's supply allocation to the production wheel, the correct order is influenced by the prioritization of supply commitments based on their reliability and urgency.

Scheduled Service Requests (SRs) represent commitments that have already been confirmed and are critical to meeting immediate production needs. Therefore, they are allocated first to ensure that ongoing production schedules are not disrupted. Following scheduled SRs, non-reschedulable service requests are addressed next. These requests are also urgent but cannot be rescheduled, meaning they must be fulfilled as they stand.

Reschedulable service requests, while necessary, are less urgent than the previous two categories. They can be shifted if supply constraints occur. Finally, planned orders, which are based on forecasted demand and less immediate, are allocated last. This prioritization ensures that immediate production needs are met effectively before addressing possible future demand.

This hierarchy reflects a strategic approach to allocation, ensuring that more essential and fixed commitments are met first, thereby optimizing production efficiency.
