Build-to-Stock vs. Build to Order: Business units can either build to stock or build to order. This is as true for service providers as it is for companies that build products. For example, a company providing language training can create recorded classes and then sell them package them and sell them as CD’s or files downloadable from the Internet or it can provide customized tutor services to individual clients upon the receipt of a purchase order. A fast-food outlet can start building each order upon receipt of the order or it can have pre-packaged items already made and ready for customers to purchase from displayed inventory. Select an organization and explain whether it uses a build to order approach, a build to stock approach, or both. Explain the implications of this approach for the management of the organization’s supply chain.
