Identify and discuss the unique and critical business issues with which an Engineer-To-Order (ETO) or
project-oriented manufacturer must contend. Also, outline the newly formed body of good business practice that resolves these issues. This new body of knowledge is a logical fusion of formerly disparate approaches to: business acquisition, configuration management, project scheduling, detailed scheduling and control, project accounting and revenue recognition into a cohesive business system. This paper follows the lifecycle of a project.
