optimized production technology (OPT)
Definition
Production scheduling and inventory control system that (unlike manufacturing resource planning) recognizes bottlenecks (capacity constraints) and does not aim at full capacity utilization at all times. OPT's objective is to simultaneously raise throughput while reducing inventory and operating costs, and achieve a smooth, continuous flow of work in process.
