World Trade Magazine features Cutler's latest article
"Engineer-to-Order Manufacturers Find Little Global Competition"
which can be found at (www.trcutlerinc.com/ ). According to the
article, "ETO (Engineer-to-Order) manufacturing cannot be
outsourced. The unique one-of-a-kind products manufactured are
produced and completed in the customer's site and are modified
as an engineered work-in-progress. It is this specific
geographic requirement that provides these manufacturers a
global competitive advantage. The term engineer-to-order (ETO)
denotes a style of manufacturing rather than a specific industry
segment. Other synonymous terms are "project-based" or "custom"
manufacturers. ETO companies typically have distinct
characteristics about the way they conduct business that
differentiate them from discrete or repetitive manufacturers."
Thomas R. Cutler author of the feature article founded the
Manufacturing Media Consortium in 1999, which has grown the
participation from 300 journalists to more than two thousand key
clients, journalists, editors, trendsetters, and key business
leaders worldwide. Cutler has authored more than 1000 articles
for a wide range of manufacturing periodicals, industrial
publications, and business journals including most of the
leading monthly trade publications. Cutler is the author of The
Manufacturers' Public Relations and Media Guide. Cutler was
voted #1 Manufacturing Journalist for the third year in a row.
TR Cutler, Inc. is the nation's largest manufacturing marketing
and public relations firm and based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Cutler is widely respected as the leading journalist expert in
the Engineer-to-Order (ETO) environment having authored hundreds
of feature articles on the subject. "It's a fascinating sector
of manufacturing and quite different that repetitive
manufacturing that has a totally different series of
considerations. These are unique one-of-a-kind products that are
changed and re-engineered throughout the manufacturing process.
Correct technologies are required to work in this special
environment," according to Cutler.
