Abstract
The order release determines the point in time after which a production is allowed to process an order. Usually, it also immediately triggers the provision of the required materials. The material is thus specifically allocated to an order and is generally no longer available for other orders. The order release influences the WIP and the WIP dependent utilization of the production as well as the throughput time of the orders.

Notes
- 1.
Various authors suggest order release methods that calculate the planned start date – to some degree based on the production’s WIP. These methods will not be described here, since determining the planned due dates is considered the responsibility of production planning. Readers who are interested however can find a list of references for these methods in [Berg-97*].
- 2.
In the long-run, this is also the case with a due date based order release (see the first basic law of production in [Nyhu-09*]). Over the short term though, the input and output rates can be set (to a large degree) independently from one another.
- 3.
Under circumstances this can reduce the effectiveness of balancing the load. In many cases however the schedule reliability is the more important objective.
