Abstract
This paper studies the specific Product Lifecycle
Management (PLM) capabilities needed for the
transformation of
Engineered to Order (ETO) manufacturing towards Configure
to Order business strategy. The material for the
research comes from a project conducted with public
private partnership. The four industrial companies that
we
studied engineer and/or manufacture highly customized
products in low volumes with globally distributed
networks.
This is an industrial context, which requires specific
PLM capabilities. The capabilities are essential for
business
transformation, broadening the utilization of PLM, and
enhancing and maintaining the competitive edge of ETO
manufacturing organizations.
