“Make to order” (MTO) is a production and inventory management strategy used by businesses to manufacture products only after receiving a customer’s order. In contrast to “make to stock” (MTS) or “forecast-based production,” where items are produced in anticipation of future demand and stored in inventory, MTO businesses maintain minimal or no inventory of finished goods. Instead, they procure materials and components and initiate the production process only when a customer places an order.

1. Customization

MTO allows for greater customization of products to meet individual customer requirements. Since products are not pre-manufactured and are produced in response to specific orders, customers can often tailor their orders to suit their needs.

2. Reduced Inventory Costs

MTO businesses typically have lower carrying costs because they don’t need to store large quantities of finished goods. This can lead to cost savings in terms of storage space, insurance, and capital tied up in inventory.

3. Reduced Risk of Obsolescence

Because products are made in response to actual demand, there is a lower risk of products becoming obsolete or unsellable due to changes in customer preferences or technological advancements.

4. Lower Holding Costs

MTO reduces the costs associated with holding excess inventory, including the risk of inventory depreciation, spoilage, or damage.

5. Tight Control Over Production

Businesses have better control over their production processes since they can adjust production schedules quickly in response to changes in demand or specific customer requests.

6. Faster Product Turnaround

Customers often receive their orders more quickly since production begins shortly after an order is placed.
