Customer Order Decoupling Point is a Term describing the process or node in the supply chain network where the activities are no longer driven by individual orders. Managing Customer Order Decoupling Points is a Best Practice.

Understanding the Customer Order Decoupling Point of a supply chain is important for Supply Chain Management processes. The behavior of processes upstream and downstram of the Customer Order Decoupling Point is quite different:

• Upstream processes are driven by forecast based planning information (blue in the diagram), Materials are pushed downstream. Optimization is realized by balancing inventory and capacity.
• Downstream processes are driven by actual customer orders (green in the diagram). Materials are pulled by the order. Optimization is realized by balancing capacity and lead-times.

The OpenReference Supply Chain Operations Domain recognizes these differences in behavior at level-2: Make-to-Stock (MTS), Make-to-Order (MTO, CTO, ATO, PTO), and Engineer-to-Order (ETO). Customer Order Decoupling Points (white rounded box in the diagram) typically reside in the first MTS process (when looking upstream):

For Engineer-to-Order replace Customer Order with Customer Intent.
