"Engineer-to-Order Manufacturers Find Little Global Competition"
is an important feature in World Trade Magazine. The 70,000 plus
senior executives and managers reading the publication have
purchasing influence over their supply chain. Global
competitiveness is central to the publication's message.
According to the World Trade Magazine article, "ETO
(Engineer-to-Order) manufacturing cannot be outsourced. The
unique one-of-a-kind products manufactured are produced and
completed in the customer's site and are modified as an
engineered work-in-progress. It is this specific geographic
requirement that provides these manufacturers a global
competitive advantage.
The term engineer-to-order (ETO) denotes a style of
manufacturing rather than a specific industry segment. Other
synonymous terms are "project-based" or "custom" manufacturers.
ETO companies typically have distinct characteristics about the
way they conduct business that differentiate them from discrete
or repetitive manufacturers."

Manufacturing Media Consortium in 1999, which has grown the
participation from 300 journalists to more than two thousand key

for a wide range of manufacturing periodicals, industrial

Cutler is widely respected as the leading journalist expert in
the Engineer-to-Order (ETO) environment having authored hundreds
of feature articles on the subject. "It's a fascinating sector
of manufacturing and quite different that repetitive
manufacturing that has a totally different series of
considerations. These are unique one-of-a-kind products that are
changed and re-engineered throughout the manufacturing process.
Correct technologies are required to work in this special
environment," according to Cutler.
