Assemble-to-Order (ATO) is a business strategy that allows rapid producing customized products by combining a limited number of subassemblies into many possible finished items. This approach can help businesses meet customer demand for unique or personalized products in a timely and efficient manner.
ATO manufacturing systems are typically used in industries where products are too complex or variable to be produced using a pure assembly line approach. However, this flexibility comes at a cost, as ATO systems can be more expensive to set up and maintain than traditional manufacturing systems.
Considering using an ATO system in your business, it is essential to carefully weigh the costs and benefits to ensure it is the right fit for your needs.
