tellimuspõhistes
Tellimuspõhistes is an Estonian term describing a mode of operation in which goods or services are produced, provisioned or delivered based on individual customer orders rather than on forecasted demand. The phrase combines tellimus (order) and põhistes (based on), signifying a make-to-order or order-driven approach. In manufacturing and logistics, tellimuspõhistes implies that production planning, procurement and inventory management hinge on confirmed orders, leading to lower work-in-progress and reduced finished-goods stock, but potentially longer lead times for customers. In software, IT services and professional services, tellimuspõhised arrangements refer to custom projects or solutions initiated after a client signs a contract or places an order.
Advantages include lower inventory carrying costs, higher customization potential, and improved cash flow due to payments
Successful implementation requires robust order management, accurate demand signaling from customers, flexible production or service processes,
Tellimuspõhised models are common in industries such as customized manufacturing, print-on-demand, software development, and professional services,
