Made-to-Order
Made-to-Order (MTO) is a manufacturing process where products are built specifically to a customer’s custom specifications after receiving their order. Unlike mass-produced items, which are made in large quantities and kept in stock, MTO allows for personalization and adjustments, resulting in a unique product tailored to the customer's preferences. This approach reduces waste and inventory costs, as products are only created when an order is placed. Common in industries like furniture, clothing, and automotive manufacturing, MTO combines efficiency with customization, ensuring customers receive products that meet their exact needs and desires.
