Engineer-to-Order systems are designed to resolve several core problems; the most important being the speeding up of the definition and acquisition of materials. The time it takes to produce a product in an ETO company is totally dependent on how long it takes to define the items on a BOM and acquire these materials. Complications occur when designers are required to release the BOM in stages, not all at one time. They must also deal with change requests from the client and manufacturing throughout the project. ETO firms need a system designed for this type of concurrent engineering that dramatically reduce the time to create, control and release information to purchasing.

A useful tool and part of effective OEE Profitability is Reliability Quantification Testing (RQT). This general tool for existing and new equipment fabrications helps quantify the actual reliability performance. It should become a mandatory tool used for accepting or commissioning equipment systems critical to your manufacturing processes. To build in reliability of proposed designs, reliability specifications and the level of testing before acceptance must become a part of the original purchase order. RQT establishes the test hours and failure frequency parameters, then generates a point estimate of actual Mean Time Between Failures for the tested system.
