Investopedia explains 'Make To Stock - MTS'

The main drawback to the make-to-stock (MTS) method is that it relies heavily on the accuracy of demand forecasts. Inaccurate forecasts will lead to losses stemming from excessive inventory or stockouts. Common alternative production strategies include make-to-order (MTO) and assemble-to-order (ATO).
