Abstract
The need to reduce problems and expenses in commercial vehicle operations has led customers to seek technical alternatives together with automakers to provide vehicles adapted to the real context of users' applications. The creation of processes and structures focused on an Engineer-to-Order (ETO) proposal, involving the customers themselves in the development of their customized solutions, is a path of no return, since everyday commercial vehicles recognized as “Equipment for Work". This new reality has forced companies in the sector to reinvent themselves, as the standard product is beginning to be insufficient and the necessary modifications. The main goal of this work is to evaluate alternatives to enhance the delivery of truly customized products, considering that the demand has grown rapidly year after year and having as the main objective, extracting the maximum that Industry 4.0 (serial production line) can contribute in this sense. Identifying, understanding, and categorizing technologies, important elements, and resources that can contribute to the success of this form of custom production. All of it, comparing with a study of a business case. This case example is an important factor in conducting of the material because through them was possibly to collected information that approximate the theoretical concepts to the context found in the real shop floor. The identified articles, on the other hand, serve as a basis for the theoretical foundation of the topic addressed and as a basis for consolidating this content. The result of this study is the evaluation of this new reality and to present some needs and tools, focused on the production process, to make these customizations (ETO) possible in automated production lines, such those using industry 4.0 technologies.
