Engineer-to-Order (ETO)
Embedded inside Dynamics 365/AX, Bluestar PLM allows Engineer-to-Order (ETO) manufacturers to manage their entire business inside one single cloud-based solution.
By streamlining and automating end-to-end business processes, Bluestar PLM allows you to react to the changing circumstances of one-off projects, by improving collaboration across your organization during product design, manufacturing, and delivery.
As a result, the risk of costly production mistakes is mitigated, time-to-market is decreased, and more orders are successfully fulfilled and delivered.
Bluestar PLM gives you:
- CAD+PLM+ERP in one system: For centralizing products and all related information and processes in one place decreasing time to market.
- Management of growing BOMs: Early release long-lead items for a steady flow of raw materials.
- Project management: Workflow driven processes trace growing projects from design to release in D365/AX.
- Reuse of product data: Easily access existing and approved items and BOMs to streamline the development of new products and avoid costly errors.
- Full CAD-intergration: Save time with automatic synchronization of items, BOMs and 3D files between CAD, PLM and ERP.
- Fully traceable Engineering Change Management (ECM): Engineering changes and their impact on products and the supply chain are visible from notice to implementation.
By streamlining and automating end-to-end business processes, you will react to the changing circumstances of one-off projects, by improving collaboration across your organization during product design, fabrication, and delivery.
Bluestar PLM is built specifically for ETO manufacturers
The ability to effectively coordinate and execute a constant flow of engineering changes across engineering and operations is key to success in engineer-to-order manufacturing. The supply chain must be efficient and capable.
- Engineering and operations work in parallel and in close collaboration, to avoid bottlenecks, costly errors and delays.
- Meet changes in customer demand, stay on schedule and adhere to budgets.
Effectively coordinate and execute a paralel work-flow across engineering and operations.
Transform your business with Bluestar PLM
Dealing with more complex products and more frequent changes throughout the development phase elongates the time it takes to finalize products and increases the number of specialists involved in a single product’s lifecycle, hence the costs per product.
Furthermore, when some of the ever-changing customer requests are missed due to misplacement, engineers are enforced to make corrections in a short period of time.
To counterbalance the higher expenses, while keeping the end product’s price at a reasonable level, ETO manufacturers must aim to optimize their internal processes and streamline the product data flow.
