Abstract
A system and method are disclosed including a production planner that receives a sales forecast for configurations of an automobile. The demand planner also receives constraints associated with an automobile supply chain. The demand planner further models configurations and constraints as a mixed integer linear programming problem, determines a production plan for automobiles, and sends instructions to cause automated machinery to retrieve an amount of automobiles equal to a forecasted production level minus a current inventory level and to move the amount of the automobile to an inventory location of the automobile.
