Taitt Supply Chain Management (SCM) Exam 2 Practice

This item tests the concept of Engineer to Order. In this approach, the product is designed and engineered to meet a customer’s exact specifications after the order is received, so each item is unique. It requires close collaboration with the customer, customized design work, and engineering before fabrication. This differs from high-volume, standardized production (repetitive or continuous) where products are the same each time, and from a job shop, which handles varied jobs but doesn’t necessarily start from scratch with new engineering for every order.
