Repeater are those products that have significant variety and will usually be produced across resources that are not dedicated to a specific flow line. Due to the lower volume amounts, variable order frequency and/or high variability in operational routings, these product-demand patterns will have to be managed as mix-model product and will require more production control support than a runner type of product.
