Make to Order & Engineer to Order

[Makal]

Dear Friends,

can you please help me in listing the differences between Make-To-Order & Engineer-To-Order with some example?

Thanks

Hi

Make - to - order: This is a scenario where you have the required design for production available with you. Only thing is after getting the order you go for the sales cycle, project cycle, production cycle, etc.

Engineered to Order: This scenario is where you design the product from the scratch and then you go for the sales cycle, project cycle, production cycle, etc. Here PLM module is coming into picture for designing.

Hi Paul,

As you have mentioned about both scenarios, can you please explain with example

I am not getting when we require design in both scenario,

Make - to - order: This is a scenario where you have the required design for production available with you. Only thing is after getting the order you go for the sales cycle, project cycle, production cycle, etc.

Question: As you mentioned "require design for production" is this means we require design at time of production or this is pre-designed.

Engineered to Order: This scenario is where you design the product from the scratch and then you go for the sales cycle, project cycle, production cycle, etc. Here PLM module is coming into picture for designing.

Question: As you mentioned "design the product from scratch and than go for Sales" what does this means like we require to design product before sales order or after getting order. as like as Modular kitchen scenario

please explain this

Thanks

In practical situation preliminary drawings will be prepared initially along with Inquiry or Tender. But detailed engineering, feasibility test, mock-up etc will be done after confirming the order / receipt of LOI. Hope it clarifies your doubt.
