Is the Flowlity solution suitable for Make-to-Stock (MTS) and Make-to-Order (MTO) environments?

‍Yes. Flowlity is designed to support both Make-to-Stock (MTS) and Make-to-Order (MTO) production models.

In Make-to-Stock, Flowlity uses its forecasting algorithms to project future demand and recommend optimal stock levels for each item. It also calculates dynamic safety stocks to maintain high service levels while minimizing excess inventory.

In Make-to-Order, where production or procurement is triggered only by confirmed customer orders, Flowlity adapts by using firm orders as the main demand input. The system then focuses on optimizing the availability of components, raw materials, or intermediates required to deliver these orders on time, ensuring upstream supply readiness.

Flowlity can also manage hybrid workflows, where some SKUs follow an MTS logic and others an MTO logic—common in both manufacturing and distribution. With flexible configuration, you can define the planning mode by item or product family, and Flowlity automatically adjusts its behavior accordingly.

In summary: whether you operate on stock or on demand, Flowlity ensures optimal planning of resources and inventory, fully aligned with your operational model.
