| ETO ERP Selection: Key for ETO Manufacturers
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems offer great benefits
to engineer-to-order (ETO) companies looking to increase
productivity and decrease cost. According to TR Cutler,
spokesperson for the ETO Institute, “These benefits come as a
result of a successful implementation, but not every
implementation is successful.” Cutler asserts that, “One reason
some implementations are not successful is the selection of the
wrong system.”
The ETO Institute has just published a white paper, “Why Do
Companies Choose the Wrong System?” This document is written
with engineer-to-order companies in mind. It highlights the
problems facing ETO companies trying to find and evaluate a new
ERP system. The while paper provides some time and simple steps
companies can take to reduce the chances of making a critical
mistake. (www.etoinstitute.org)
Cutler, who authors regular columns for Industrial Connection
magazine (www.industrialconnection.net) and InMFG magazine
(www.inmfg.com) is looking for case study profiles of ETO
manufacturing companies and their ERP experiences. “The good,
the bad, the ugly. I want to know what ETO manufacturers think
about the ERP selection process, what companies have served them
well and which have not. This will provide an interesting
profile for the members of the ETO Institute.”
The ETO Institute specifically highlights some of the problems
ETO manufacturers face when searching for an ERP system. Go to
www.etoinsititute.org and learn more. Registration is free of
charge and more than a thousand ETO manufacturers are expected
to join in 2005.
