However, the conventional method is designed for high-volume production. We propose a new value stream analysis and design, tailored to the specific needs of make-to-order companies. While maintaining the paper-and-pencil approach for data collection, we set a focus on schedule reliability and the required manufacturing control methods. The new method is presented by the example of an industrial manufacturer of precision parts.en0953-7287Production planning & control20214322334Taylor & Francismake-to-orderschedule reliabilityValue stream analysisWirtschaftTechnikValue stream analysis and design for make-to-order companiesJournal Article10.1080/09537287.2020.1735008Other
