Exploring the archetypes of engineer-to-order: an empirical analysis

Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to conceptualize archetypes of engineer-to-order (ETO) to support companies in determining the appropriate degree of design standardization and automation, and as a result achieve superior performance. Products of ETO manufacturers are classified in a 2×2 matrix using annual units sold and engineering complexity as dimensions. Design/methodology/approach – This research adopted a theory refining app… Show more

“…In line with Willner et al [22], we argue that it depends on the product type which degree of design automation is most appropriate. Figure 4 presents the maturity model that we derived from within-case analysis combined with cross-case comparisons.…”

“…In 2014, the division sold 2,000 elevators, each requiring eleven hours of order-specific engineering on average. In merely requiring eleven hours of order-specific engineering on average, elevators are not the most extreme type of ETO (see Willner et al [22] for an analysis of different ETO types).…”

“…Willner et al, [8] present a relevant literature review on categorization of ETO companies and according to their findings each classification contains a different ETO perspective like: type of modularization, point of customer involvement, engineer dimension referring to the number of standardized versus customized parts, etc. The same authors propose a categorization based on the complexity of the ETO product where they considered the following two factors: 1) the number of units sold annually and 2) the number of engineering hours used for producing the artifact.…”

“…Apesar de ainda não ter uma fronteira bem definida -pois é fato que ainda não existe um consenso geral na literatura quanto a correta definição de ETO (WILLNER et al, 2016) -a ETO (engineering to order ou engenharia sob encomenda) é conceituada por grande parte dos autores como o sistema de produção que possui o seu ponto de desacoplamento da cadeia de suprimentos na fase de concepção (GOSLING;NAIM, 2009). Dentre as inúmeras características típicas da ETO estão a flexibilidade, o alto lead time, a mistura de componentes customizados com componentes padrões, as mudanças frequentes, os riscos de prazo e as incertezas quanto à data de entrega.…”
