Glovia Supports ETO/MTO Manufacturing Environments

Extended ERP Solution Successfully Manages Change, Communication, Costs, Resources and Services

Glovia International, a subsidiary of Fujitsu and a leading provider of extended ERP solutions for engineer-to-order and high volume manufacturers, has announced the development of a powerful yet flexible solutions framework that supports the actual ways in which Engineer-to-Order (ETO) and Make-to-Order (MTO) manufacturers operate-including concurrent or progressive engineering and simultaneous mixed modes of operation. Glovia software reacts to project changes immediately to rebalance supplies, resources, and demands to keep projects moving forward.

ETO/MTO manufacturers require sophisticated tools to manage and track service materials and personnel over the long, detailed lifecycles of their products. Glovia provides the visibility and control of all project lifecycle costs-from the suppliers through manufacturing, out to customers and into the aftermarket including continual product developments and enhancements.

"The fact is that only a minority of all ERP vendors properly support ETO/MTO manufacturing environments, let alone with flow manufacturing concepts. Glovia would be one possible honorable exception," stated, Predrag Jakovljevic, Principal Analyst, Enterprise Applications, Technology Evaluation Centers (www.technologyevaluation.com).
