What's the difference between postponement and channel assembly? Provide examples of both

What will be an ideal response?

Examples will vary. Postponement is a concept whereby some of the final activities in the provision of a product or service are delayed until the orders are received. Channel assembly takes this concept a step further and brings supply chain partners farther downstream into the postponement process. These supply chain partners, closer still to the customer, are responsible for making final differentiating modifications to the product.
