Digital transformation poses a challenge for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with an Engineer-to-Order (ETO) production characterized by a low-variant and low-volume manufacturing philosophy. This article aims to examine the role of a digital factory twin and material flow simulation to increase value creation in ETO production. The study follows a structured approach including a literature review, on-site process analysis, and simulations to determine the optimal production process design. The focus of qualitative and quantitative findings is on the control cabinet manufacturing as an important sector in Germany representative for ETO production. The findings comprise a novel definition of the digital factory twin (DFT), implementation of a simulation model and integration of lean manufacturing principles to optimize ETO production of control cabinets. This study makes a valuable contribution to the development of the DFT and illustrates the successful implementation of simulation as well as lean manufacturing principles.
