ATO – Assemble-to-Order
• A production environment where a good or service can be assembled after receipt of a customer’s order. The key components . . . used in the assembly or finishing process are planned and usually stocked in anticipation of a customer order. Receipt of an order initiates assembly of the customized product. This strategy is useful where a large number of end products (based on the selection of options and accessories) can be assembled from common components.

ATO Bills and . . .
• Modular Bills
• Planning Bills
• PTO Bills (Oracle)
• Hybrid Bills (Oracle)

Why consider ATO?
• Options make planning and stocking EVERY possible end item unrealistic to impossible
• Difference between customer delivery lead time vs. procurement and manufacturing lead time
![Page 6: Giving Yourself Options – Using Oracle Assemble To Order (ATO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812e3c550346895d93b336/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Stock issue
• When options are considered, there may be hundreds of thousands of end items
• Potentially millions of dollars of inventory
• Many potential configurations are never ordered
• Space problems, maintenance issues

Lead Time issue
• Customer delivery lead time = 4 weeks
• Procure materials, fabricate and assemble – 28 weeks!

More advantages
• Fewer Bills of Materials• Less BOM maintenance• More efficient order entry• Forecast/plan at level below the end
item• Helps isolate opportunities for
standardizing and changing the manufacturing process.

Creation of Configured Item
• Creation of configuration bill of material based on the model bill of material
• Creation of configuration routing based on the model routing
• Link the configuration item to the sale order

Creation of Configured Item
• Kick off the configuration item workflow process, which completes the following:– Lead time calculation for the configuration
item (discrete manufacturing items only)– Supply Chain cost rollup for the
configuration item

Affect on Forecast
• Forecast at the Model level, using planning percentages
• Configured items will consume the forecast for the Model
