Abstract
A method and system for manufacturing information handling systems analyzes orders for information handling system configurations to select one or more configurations for imaging. For instance, frequently ordered configurations or configurations that are time consuming to manufacture are selected for imaging. When an information handling system having a selected configuration is manufactured, an image of the manufactured information handling system is saved in an image cache. Subsequent information handling systems having the selected configuration are manufactured by copying the saved image to the information handling system, thus reducing the time for loading software onto the information handling system.
