ABSTRACT:
A system and method for balancing production capacity between different production technologies. The system includes at least an order management module, a reservation module and a capacity management module. The order management module receives a first order, and generates a dummy order corresponding to the first order. The reservation module reserves a first capacity of a first production technology for the first order and a second capacity of a second production technology for the dummy order. The capacity management module cancels the first order and directs the dummy order to substitute the first order if a second order requesting the first production technology is received, and releases the first capacity to fulfill the second order.
