How do routing and timing affect the scheduling process for a furniture manufacturer like Drexel-Heritage?

What will be an ideal response?


Routing of materials is the sequence of workstations that raw materials and work in process will follow. Operations managers route needed wood for a Drexel-Heritage chair through workstations along an assembly line, with the table finally ending up at finished goods inventory. Timing specifies when the wood, for example, will arrive at each workstation and how long it will remain there.
