4.11 assemble-to-order

Assemble-to-order is a production method that occurs when an item is assembled after receipt
of a customer’s order. The key items used in the assembly or finishing process are planned and
usually stocked in anticipation of a customer order. Receipt of an order initiates assembly of the
customized product.

Assemble-to-order manufacturing companies require integrated processes and systems to
quickly assemble parts and components, which will in turn enable them to finish the product on
time, and deliver faster at competitive rates.

The ERP solution helps you automate your entire assemble-to-order process. You can optimally
plan and produce key items used in the assembly or finishing process in anticipation of your
customer orders. You can also effectively check the material and resource availability, at the
moment when the sales order is created. This will help you to quote reliable delivery dates and
meet deadlines.
