For custom manufacturing, you have to
coordinate the order with what the line
is currently manufacturing, which is a
very complex problem because you want
to minimize the number of changes and
network reconfigurations needed. The idea
is not just to be able to adjust but do it in
a manner that is optimal to make the best
use of your factory floor."
