when a firm is able to move to an assemble to order capability from a make to stock approach there can be a substantial reduction in the number of things that must be tracked and stored. for example the northland computer shop had decided to stop stocking assembled computers and moved to an assemble to order approach northland even invited customers to the work area to see their computers being assembled, a great customer relations ploy. the company estimated that there were 7 hard disc choices, 6 motherboards, 5 cd/dvd options, 3 operating systems, 4 other options. If it costs $10 per item to make a forecast each week, what is the weekly savings from forecasting just the components and options as compared to the potential number of finished products.
