Headquartered in Colorado, Streamline Systems (http://www.streamlinesys.com) follows a focused business strategy and proven approach when it comes to working with Engineer to Order (ETO), Build to Order (BTO) and Assemble to Order (ATO) client. Larry Cohn, Managing Director noted, "Over the years, we've developed verified methods that inject new value into unique one of a kind manufacturing business.

In Part 7 of the Streamline Systems blog series: ETO, Why Now, the company reviews a key concept we stressed in a recent White Paper on the topic. In Part 6 of the blog, the companies reviewed whether current ERP systems still fit. Outdated technology or missing features limit the ability to grow business or even damage existing competitiveness. Trends in early 2012 still provide a compelling argument that Engineer to Order (ETO) or custom manufacturing is THE MOST EFFECTIVE BUSINESS STRATEGY in the current (and foreseeable) economic climate.

Custom manufacturing is not cost-effective when out-sourced; foreign manufacturers cannot handle variability and change while maintaining low costs.”

From complex quotation and order entry process, to long lead times and unprofitable service and installation aspects of business, optimal efficiency is not optional. Capitalizing on every opportunity, while simultaneously managing costs and ensuring projects are accurately billed and collected is the central need of all ETO manufacturing operations.
