Configure-to-Order
Strategy that builds a customer-specific configuration from predefined modules, options and rules.
Examples
- 01With configure-to-order, a customer picks 1 of 4 screen sizes, 3 memory options and 2 keyboards, and the system checks the rules.
- 02Before a new option is added to configure-to-order, planning reviews the extra modules needed and their lead times.
- 03The daily schedule groups configure-to-order jobs with the same screen size and housing colour, which saves four changeovers a day.
