Designing again and again is time-consuming and labor-intensive
You notice that the market expects you to achieve variety at lower prices and shorter lead times. The pressure on the organization and in particular on Engineering is increasing and capacity in that area is not easy to expand. Failure costs and delays are lurking. To meet these challenges, you can opt for a different process strategy; from ETO to CTO. Implementing CTO is not simply introducing a configurator. Here, automation will first have to be preceded by organizing and structuring! An important part of getting started with CTO: Choose the right tool.
The crux: Bridge the gap between Engineering and Sales
Industrial companies with their own product development are increasingly confronted with developments that have consequences for dealing with customer-specific requirements and wishes. Are you able to realize specific customer wishes within agreements made with minimal effort?
