When Make-to-Order manufacturing is mentioned, two well-known challenges always appear:
Complex Production Planning
Long Lead Times

Make-to-Order (MTO) companies is a part of High-Mix, Low-Volume industry. This approach minimizes finished-goods inventory and allows manufacturers to offer greater product variety — but it also introduces planning complexity and longer throughput times compared to mass production.
