In this paper, we investigate operational decision optimization problem of assembly manufacturing capacitated supply chain. Open equations of this system in all planning periods are set up. Delivery time to clients form a time window that limits point to assembly manufacturer delivery start and end time. The system model divide planning time into many equally periods, and decisions can vary with time. Ability constraint in the process of supply chain operation, time constraints and assembly

At last, we examine a set of numerical examples that reveal the insights into the dynamic inventory control policy and the performance of such an assembly type inventory mode.
