Industries like Manufacturing, Plant Engineering, and Construction are strategically expanding their Engineer-to-Order (ETO) methodologies and processes to meet the demand for customized solutions. Unlike traditional manufacturing, where products are produced in bulk based on standardized designs, ETO projects involve a high degree of customization, complex planning, and precise execution. ETO projects require designing and manufacturing products based on specific customer requirements and these complex criteria necessitate meticulous planning, precise execution, and management to ensure profitability, customer satisfaction, and regulatory compliance.

To navigate these unique challenges, companies need solutions that can streamline the entire process from initial planning and procurement to production, delivery, and project closure specifically covering these requirements. SAP S/4HANA brings its core functionality for ETO to centralize and optimize business processes, automate tasks, and enhance project management capabilities crucial for success in ETO environments. Dedicated modules like SAP Project Systems, and SAP Enterprise Portfolio and Project Management (EPPM) are available for supporting designated processes.

CNT Management’s agile implementation methodology, from preparation, exploration, and realization, to deployment, ensures the efficient integration of SAP for all ETO requirements. This enables organizations to handle complex projects with enhanced transparency, reduced risks, and improved profitability.
