Abstract: Abstract Make to order assembly occurs when the customers specify the features and options for each unit they buy. The methods to control the operation of this type of assembly line are described by an example. The example begins with the work elements, element times, predecessor elements and any associated features and options. The probability of options by feature is used to project the number of options and features by shift over the planning horizon. The shift time and the number of units to build over the shift are then used to estimate the element times over the shift. With this information, the assignment of elements to the stations.
