There are several options available to the user for selecting the customer demand constraints on the products that are to be used in determining the optimum plans.  These constraints can be edited with a built-in editor before execution.  

The selected minimum values for each of the products will ensure that at least those minimum  production units for those products will be in the proposed optimum plan.  The selected maximum values for each of the products will ensure that no more than the maximum production units for these products will appear in the proposed plan. 

The options selectable by the user are:

        Customer Orders as Minimum - Demand Forecasts as Maximum
        Customer Orders as Minimum - No Maximum
        Customer Orders as Maximum - No Minimum
        Demand Forecasts as Minimum - No Maximum
        Demand Forecasts as Maximum - No Minimum
        No Minimum - No Maximum
