Abstract
In this chapter we study the dependence properties of multi-product, assemble-to-order (ATO) systems with either capacitated or uncapacitated suppliers. The aim is to gain insights into the impact of demand correlation on system performance and to develop easily computable, tight bounds for key performance measures.
