  Key Concepts: 
  Make-to-order (MTO) is a production process in which a customer order triggers the production of a unique product. This process is used when the customer specifies the exact product they want, and the production process is tailored to meet their needs. In SAP’s Digital Manufacturing Execution (MFG-DM-ME) component, MTO is used to manage the production of custom products. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In MFG-DM-ME, MTO is used to manage the production of custom products. The system allows users to create and manage orders for custom products, track their progress through the production process, and monitor their delivery status. The system also provides tools for managing inventory and scheduling resources. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using MTO in MFG-DM-ME, it is important to ensure that all orders are accurately tracked and monitored. This will help ensure that orders are delivered on time and that resources are allocated efficiently. Additionally, it is important to keep an accurate inventory of materials and components so that orders can be fulfilled quickly and efficiently.
