Order Release
It is to place an official order to suppliers according to the order plan made by the purchasing planning by issuing an order form or order list like that shown in the figure at the time when the planned release date is approaching. In case of purchasing orders, the order form is just sent to suppliers, while in case of subcontract orders with supplies provided, issue instructions of supplies should be given at this point. In this case, the Single Level Explosion of B/M is usually used.
