The process of manufacturing in a make-to-order environment adds value to products through mixing, separating, forming, machining, and chemical processes for a specific customer order. Products are completed, built or configured only in response to a customer order, the customer order reference is attached to the production order, attached to or marked on the product upon completion of the make process and referenced when transferring the product to Deliver. The product is identifiable throughout the Make process, as made for a specific customer order. Examples of alternative or related names for Make-to-Order are: Build-to-Order (BTO), Assemble-to-Order (ATO), Configure-to-Order (CTO), and postponement. |
