after the complete answer of MR.IQBAL ABUBAKAR,,, its useless to say more,, i learn many subjects other than my experties from him,,,
Your question tries build a meaningful connection between two worlds quoting from the statement of your question
In my professonal work, I believe that understanding the question is half of the answer or even more. Here in this question, there are two big unknowns (or at least not specified in your question)
May I ask you not take these question lightly, because they are the basis and foundation for what you want to implement and whether it succeeds or fails to deliver what is reuired/expected form it
In my professinal services, I have exactly done that to help customers select the right software for their requirements ... through2 specific services
I have also been invited to some "poor performance system situations leading to dissatisfied end-users (business lines) and wasted financial investments" and found several causes and reasons for such a situation including
I am not going to expand further on this .... what I said is already enough to clarify and stress the message
However, and in absence of all these "necessary" details... it is only possible to provide a "generic" answer that would apply to ETO manuefacturers .. in what applies directly to ETO and manufacturing. Other functions including finance, HR, sales, distribution, ... etc ... etc are assumed to be there and no need to talk about them.
Specifically for the "ETO manufacturer", the following would be applicable
I hope this answers your question, if you need more help, let me know !!
The main features for ETO manufacturers are classified into the following groups.
· Features to Manage Development and Production
o Integrated development and production for more seamless business processes.
o Improved ability to handle engineering changes.
· Functions to Increase Service and Installation Profitability
o Efficient tracking and planning tools for service and installation.
o Tools to estimate installation in the quotation process.
o Ability to track service after the sale with spare parts list and as-built information.
· Cost Estimating and Quoting
o Improved estimate structure to be in line with project structure.
o Access to real-time cost data when processing quotes.
o Access to accurate historical data to help build quotes.
· Cost Reporting and Analysis
o Real-time visibility into the actual cost of an ongoing project at any stage.
o Insight into earned hours versus actual hours.
o Ability to track the cost impact of engineering revisions.
o Flexibility to track variables or configurations and ascertain cost impact.
· Manufacturing Project Planning and Control
In addition to the areas covered above, Project Management is another of the ETO manufacturer’s challenges. Industrial projects require complex combinations of materials and labor, in-house and outsourced items, and a blend of standard and specially designed components. ETO ERP systems must track each stage of the project, from engineering design and development, through material acquisition, across the manufacturing process and beyond delivery to installation and service. ERP systems should accommodate the fact that projects are completely unique each and every time, or that they might require a hybrid approach with both activity-based planning and traditional manufacturing resource planning.
Agree with Silva
all features
