What is the behaviour of the late demand fulfillment strategy ?
The general late demand behaviour of CTM is as follows: no matter whether CTM is run in backward or forward scheduling mode, when the demand cannot be fulfilled on-time CTM starts the late demand handling. With the default method for late demand handling (Standard Procedure for Scheduling – BackwardProjection3), each day after the demand date is checked for available capacity to fulfill or fulfill partially the demand quantity. CTM steps forward day by day until it cannot fulfill any quantity. As soon as CTM does not find a partial solution, it switches to forward scheduling and looks for enough quantity to fulfill a minimum quantity in order to find the date closest to the original due date within the late demand fulfillment frame. With the solution found in forward scheduling, CTM calculates the final solution by using the new date and applying the backward strategy. With the Keep Lateness to a Minimum strategy (BackwardProjection5), CTM tries to find the earliest solution in late de
