What is Assemble To Order?
Assemble to order (ATO), also known as make to order or assemble to order, is a production model used by manufacturers where goods are produced from scratch when an order is made by a customer. The parts needed to produce a good are already manufactured but yet to be assembled. The customer order triggers assembly of the good to suit the needs of the customer.
