Abstract

Companies in project-intensive manufacturing industries such as heavy equipment, machine tools, metal fabrication, and industrial equipment face a host of diverse challenges that can affect their performance and their profitability. Although the challenges vary across products and services, these manufacturers who operate under engineer-to-order (ETO) or build-to-order (BTO) modes share a common goal of delivering projects on time and under budget. Project-based manufacturers must have the ability to bid quickly and with confidence that their bids will win them a good result. But winning is not enough. Read this paper to learn more.
