Buz BUZ is a “just in time” production system, this means that if a customer orders 2 products that have a different production line and one of the products will take longer to build BUZ will plan this so that you don't have a product waiting in the warehouse while the other product is still in production.

but they outsource Shutters which will take 6 weeks to build and can only order 10 per week
Just off these 2 values, we can tell that the Rollers will be ready much sooner than the Shutters
