(PRWEB) June 12, 2004 -- Many Ball and Roller Bearing manufacturing companies design and build unique products to customers' specifications.

Actual costing more important to for Ball and Roller Bearing manufacturers than standard costing

These are just some of the definitions of Ball and Roller Bearing ETO (Engineer-to-Order) Manufacturers.

The newly ETO Institute (www.etoinstitute.org) is an independent organization comprising leading manufacturers, consultants, service providers, and academics dedicated to helping North American engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturers compete more effectively in an increasingly competitive global environment.

The term engineer-to-order (ETO) denotes a style of manufacturing rather than a specific industry segment. Other synonymous terms are "project-based" or "custom" manufacturers. While there are many trade organizations focused on specific industries, ETO manufacturers are defined by the characteristics of business processes rather than by a single industry group. The ETO Institutes goal is to help companies with similar business issues, regardless of their industry.

The institute also recognizes the importance of Ball and Roller Bearing ETO Manufacturers.
