Matching Problem

The challenge to have the correct entities available, without excessive inventory, when their assembly is needed to satisfy a downstream demand.  In the case of a capital project, the problem becomes having the correct predecessor work, information, labor, space and equipment / tooling as elements available when all are needed to proceed and to do so without having too many elements available before they are required.
