Title: Planning and Control of Engineer to Order (ETO) Manufacturin

Date:	2000
ISBN:	9781898822042

Designing and making to order (engineering to order) is an area where Western manufacturing can still compete with lower-cost economies. Years of specialist know-how in the design and manufacture of product to meet specific needs provides a platform upon which we must build. However, companies in this sector are under the same pressure to reduce times to market while not being well served by the standard planning and control approaches of MRP, MRPII, ERP or by the best-selling ERP solutions. This booklet explains the key features of ETO manufacturing and explains the key requirements of planning tools in such businesses. It describes, for example, master planning / order slotting, the organisational implications of purchasing in the non-stock world, the mechanics of ongoing plan maintenance and how elements of the Lean manufacturing concept - notably the `drumbeat' or `heijunka' approach - can still be employed to good effect. Non-members can purchase this book for £8.50
