These challenges include increased international competition, worlwide overcapacity, low margins, increased product complexity, and changing customer behaviour. Both academics and practitioners have been considering Build-to-Order (BTO) as an alternative manufacturing concept to today´s forecast-based production system. However, little research has been done on inter-enterprise planning and execution processes in a pure BTO manufacturing environment. This paper outlines a proposal for new planning and execution processes and the supporting ICT systems in a pure BTO manufacturing environment in the automotive industry.enAgile Manufacturingautomotive industrycommunicationmanufacturing systemmanufacturing processJust-in-Time ProduktionBTO-Produktionssystembuild-to-orderAutomobilindustrieFertigungssystemFertigungsprozeßKommunikationFertigungsplanung670conference paper
