Custom Manufacturing Guide
The Custom Manufacturing Guide explains how to manage custom-to-order (CTO) and engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturing using DBA Manufacturing Software. Learn how to customize existing products or create unique products from scratch while coordinating material requirements, production scheduling, and job costing.
DBA supports custom manufacturing through one-off Bills of Manufacturing (BOMs), which can be generated from model BOMs or created from scratch. Each custom BOM can include unique components, work center routings, subcontract processes, and estimated manufacturing costs.
This guide covers the complete custom manufacturing workflow, including custom quote entry, one-off BOM customization, cost rollup and pricing, quote conversion, MRP job generation, and production processing.
Additional applications include repair jobs, remanufacturing, disassembly, rework, and research and development (R&D), where job components and outputs may need to be modified during production.
Who is this guide for?
This guide is intended for managers, engineers, production planners, buyers, shop supervisors, and anyone responsible for managing custom manufacturing operations.
