RE: MTO - material take off (or) make to order

I think it's going to depend on the context, like most abbreviations.  Material Takeoff is pretty common.  I'm sure there are others.  

RE: MTO - material take off (or) make to order

Thomos - If you are asking what is a Material Take Off - it is the process of going through the design drawings, sketches, applicable codes and specifications to determine the quantity of meterials required for a particular project.  An MTO should result in a Bill of Material (BOM) or a listing of everything that needs to be purchased or supplied.
