Project Approach The project objectives of FastETO will be achieved through the execution of the following activities:
Investigation on current state-of-the-art ETO concepts in industry and literature. Mapping and analysis of relevant ETO processes at industry partners.
Development of organizational and technical design variants applicable on ETO processes.
Prototypical implementation of IT-tools at industry partners.
Development of an ETO reference model.
Dissemination and commercialization of project results. Organization of workshops and trainings for companies and presentations at scientific conferences.
Motivation and Industrial Relevance • For many industries, mass customized
products have become the “new standard”. Today, the main challenges lie in the design and production of engineer-to-order (ETO) products, products which cannot be predefined with a product configurator.
• The customer is no longer willing to pay a price premium for the minor adaptions often required in the ETO market. Furthermore, growing global competition increases the relevance of fast and efficient ETO processes.
• Hence, companies operating in high-wage countries are in need for methodologies and tools supporting the design and execution of ETO processes in order to remain competitive.
Overall Commercial Goal • Supporting global companies in
designing and executing their ETO processes in a faster and more efficient manner.
• Enhancing the competitiveness of ETO-companies operating in high-wage companies.
Scientific Objectives • Development of organizational and
technical design variants for ETO processes (morphological box).
• Creation of an ETO reference model taking different industries and business strategies into account.
• Prototypical development and implemen-tation of IT-tools and concepts capable of supporting ETO processes.
