Engineer to Order

In an Engineer to Order production environment, the company provides both engineering services and job shop services and products. There are typically long lead times for this environment because the final product is custom designed and built. A strong emphasis is placed on job status reporting and accurate labor and materials costing to the job, including subcontract management. Tight inventory control and the ability to buy parts and materials to the job are required. In many cases the company provides aftermarket parts and service on the equipment they produce.
