Engineer-to-Order

Engineer-to-Order (ETO) is a manufacturing approach where products are designed and engineered to meet specific customer requirements. Unlike make-to-order or mass production, ETO involves creating custom products that may require significant engineering, design, and manufacturing customization. ETO projects typically involve close collaboration between the customer and the manufacturer to ensure the final product meets the desired specifications while considering factors such as feasibility, cost, and timeline.
