...Vésteinn Sigurjónsson; Jessica Bruch; Anna Granlund Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the technical interoperability of a current product data infrastructure for an engineer-to-order (ETO) process and explore the implications of technical interoperability on design manufacturing...

... Set-up optimization Machine design Engineer-to-order Single-minute digit exchange of die (SMED) is a well-known Lean method for reducing the time needed to complete an equipment change, often to less than 10 min (Shingo, 1985). Some companies have even achieved setup times of less than one...

... the design and consequently the production, lean tools and methods known from repetitive production usually do not fit (Romero and Chávez, 2011). They require different manufacturing approaches and optimization methods for so-called project manufacturing or engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturing (Yang, 2013...
