While some think that Engineer to Order (ETO) manufacturing organizations are at full capacity, the reality is significant available capacity is wasted due to coordination mistakes. The amount of lost capacity is close to 50%. “Recovering the loss of coordination between functions is the major opportunity in these organizations. It appears as delays, expediting, and frequent meetings to recover from these delays. The delays make it even more difficult to manage; the work doesn’t appear when the resources are planned on being available, so this capacity is lost. When delays are recovered, and work does appear, the resources must react to shorter timeframes to accomplish their tasks,” according to Mark Woeppel, CEO of Pinnacle Strategies.
