Linkage with Pearl Necklace
link or linkage or integration maybe?
Anyway, here's the concept:
PEARL NECKLACE LOGISTICS
This concept sees a direct relation between vehicle production and customer orders. The concept sees the sequence in which vehicles are to be manufactured not finally set until just before production begins. This information is then given to suppliers for the delivery of the requisite components as and when they are needed. The 'pearl necklace' reference comes from the arrangement of customer orders and the associated vehicles being like pearls on a string.

Comment: "This isn't going to be fair, I know, since each answerer contributed an element to the result (I googled for statistics and though Ted's "pearl chain" solution sounded better to me, the guys who went through the MIT study were using "pearl necklace"). I hate decisions like this. Thank you everyone!"
