Glossary Supply Chain / Term

time fence

A specific date used as a boundary for policy changes in a planning or other system. A policy that seeks to stabilize the master production schedule may prohibit changes to the existing schedule inside the time fence (which is based on lead time) and allow changes under certain circumstances after that date. Another example is the reaction to demand based on customer orders only inside the lead time fence, and based on forecast thereafter.
