By: TR Cutler Unique manufacturing organizations, producing complex, capital intensive equipment, cannot simply stop taking orders when high utilization is achieved; the business is cyclical. Refusing orders may mean refusing relationships that are beneficial in the next cycle. ETO organizations must accept every order they can and deal with the ramifications in execution. What is often compromised is delivery performance and operating costs. Project lead times stretch and due-date performance plummets and in response, excessive expediting costs and lateness penalties rise. This hurts the bottom line and jeopardizes customer relationships and reputation. ETO organizations need a solution to maximize their capacity and productivity while improving speed to market and delivery reliability.
