Abstract: To facilitate the application of Load-Oriented Manufacturing Control (LOMC) technique to Make-to-Order (MTO) companies, a due date assignment method was proposed, which was called LOMC-based Due Date Assignment (LDDA). As a capacity-driven approach, LDDA considered the influence exerted by LOMC mechanism and determined the possible release date of a coming order, according to the workload information of the order and current available capacity of the manufacturing system. Therefore, the due date of the order could be obtained. Meanwhile, LOMC mechanism and the dispatching rule were adjusted to comply with the plan arranged by LDDA. Finally, simulation experiments were carried out to confirm the effectiveness of LDDA. Experimental results showed that LDDA outperformed Total Work Content (TWK) method remarkably when LOMC was applied. In addition, it was concluded that the application of LOMC could contribute to due date reliability; while delivery performance also depended on whether the due date assignment method was fit for LOMC mechanism.
