Customer Order Decoupling Point is a Term describing the process or node in the supply chain network where the activities are no longer driven by individual orders. Managing Customer Order Decoupling Points is a Best Practice.
Understanding the Customer Order Decoupling Point of a supply chain is important for Supply Chain Management processes. The behavior of processes upstream and downstram of the Customer Order Decoupling Point is quite different:
The OpenReference Supply Chain Operations Domain recognizes these differences in behavior at level-2: Make-to-Stock (MTS), Make-to-Order (MTO, CTO, ATO, PTO), and Engineer-to-Order (ETO). Customer Order Decoupling Points typically resides in the first MTS process (when looking upstream).
