Sustainable Construction Supply Chains through Synchronized Production Planning and Control in Engineer-to-Order Enterprises
Sustainability in the supply chain is becoming more and more important for industrial enterprises in different sectors. This research article focuses on construction supply chains (CSCs) in the Engineer-to-Order (ETO) industry, where every product is almost unique based on specific customer needs and requirements. The development of methods and approaches for more sustainable supply chain manag...
متن کاملFrom Engineer-To-Order to Mass Customization
Purpose Most mass customization literature focuses on the move from mass production to mass customization. However, in some literature Engineer-To-Order (ETO) companies are also claimed to have become mass customizers, although it can be questioned if these companies conform to popular definitions of mass customizers. This raises the question: Under which conditions is it reasonable to label ET...
متن کاملPlanning Complex Engineer-to-order Products
The design and manufacture of complex Engineer-to-Order products is characterised by uncertain operation durations, finite capacity resources and multilevel product structures. Two scheduling methods are presented to minimise expected costs for multiple products across multiple finite capacity resources. The first sub-optimises the operations sequence, using mean operation durations, then refin...
متن کاملTowards Engineer-to-order Product Configuration
Constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) paradigm has proved highly successful for solving product configuration problems, particularly for build-to-order configuration in determining combination of different predefined component types. However, many real world customized products deal with engineer-to-order configuration, where product configuration is generated not only from combinations of diff...
متن کاملCollaborative Customization Strategy for Complex Products - Prospects for Engineer-to-Order and Customize-to-Order Production Scenarios
To compete in globalized business environments, manufacturing firms, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), need to be collaborative with respect to their total product life cycle. In this research, a focus on complex products is proposed and a new approach to structure collaboration in design and operational activities is suggested. A complete framework and guidelines for collaborativ...
