Pattern Equipment & Prototype (PEP) in Windsor, Ontario, is a
division of Tooling & Equipment International (TEI), Livonia,
Michigan. TEI is a leader in Design, Engineering and
Manufacturing of Tooling, Prototype, Pre-Production and Mass
Production Equipment for the Metal Casting Industry.
PEP selected Encompix (www.encompix.com) ETO ERP (Enterprise
Resource Planning) software because it has filled the
manufacturing software requirements of Engineer-to-Order
companies since 1992. The company name reflects the commitment
to developing business application solutions that encompass the
complex areas of project-based and job-based manufacturing.
Engineer-to-order (ETO) and project-based manufacturers face
business challenges that simply cannot be resolved by
traditional manufacturing systems. Engineer-to-order companies
need to be able to provide accurate cost estimates to customers,
manage all aspects of complex projects, deliver on time and on
budget--all while keeping a close eye on cash flow. There is
intense pressure to reduce costs, shorten cycle times, while
maintaining high quality. Finally, engineer-to-order companies
need an accurate picture of the profitability of each project in
order to comprehend the impact on the business.
According to Thomas R. Cutler, spokesperson for the ETO
Institute (www.etoinstitute.org), "Encompix has experienced
strong levels of success because this year few other
manufacturing software companies truly understand the specific
issues and nuances facing the engineer-to-order segment of the
manufacturing market." Encompix provides ETO manufacturers with
a competitive advantage by improving bottom line results.
In the increasingly competitive world of engineer-to-order and
project-based manufacturing, companies have to operate at
maximum efficiency to compete with not only domestic firms, but
also the growing number of overseas competitors. The companies
that will thrive in this environment are those that are
continually looking for improvement.
