Mass customization capabilities enable firms to design, produce, and deliver a high volume of differentiated products that meet specific customer needs in a timely manner and at close to mass-production prices.
The impact of these practices on a manufacturing firm's mass-customization capability (MCC) is examined, along with the way this impact is influenced by the degree of product customization (DPC) that the firm provides to its customers.
This paper presents a research activity aiming at enhancing Mass-Customization capabilities in the BI through Parametric and Generative design techniques in frontend activities of the value-chain system.
Crossing capabilities of the parametric algorithm in Digital Fabrication strategies and capabilities of a standard production system of GLT, authors discuss whether Parametric and Generative Design techniques may enhance Mass-Customization capabilities in the BI, pushing the whole production system towards more efficient processes.
This study investigates the relationships among product/process modularity, organizational learning practices, and mass customization (MC) capability.
This management of variation allows the organization to achieve economies of scope and provides the capability of mass customization where every market is treated as a niche.
But this capability of "choice navigation," enabled by modern configuration systems, is just one of three strategic capabilities of mass customization.
3. Paul Zipkin discussed some of the capabilities of mass customization in an earlier article, P. Zipkin, "The Limits of Mass Customization," MIT Sloan Management Review 42, no. 3 (2001): 81-87.
This chapter explains why configuration systems are playing a crucial role in meeting the particular demands of each individual customer and addresses the fundamental capabilities of sustainable mass customization: solution space development, the design of robust processes, and choice navigation.
