Configuration design for mass customized vehicles necessitates the coordination of customer requirements, product characteristics, production processes, and logistics networks, in order to achieve rapid response to customer orders.
Given the production requirements, product characteristics and assembly tasks, the model defines the assembly process for hybrid assembly lines with both manual workers and automated assembly machines.
For coping with these requirements, product family concept is effective, which enables variety of products based on well designed similar product property with associated manufacturing processes.
In addition, a distinction is made between process requirements and product requirements, based on (Badreau and Boulanger 2014) and (Tolmer 2016).
The first phase of the QFD is the house of quality (HOQ) which transforms customer requirements into product design requirements.
This ensures countries do not adopt technical regulations (mandatory requirements for product characteristics or production methods including terminology, labelling and packaging requirements) that create unnecessary barriers to trade.
Thus as per the requirement, the product selectivities can be tailored by varying the reaction parameters suitably.
As PAPS reductase has absolute substrate requirement, the product of the APS kinase, PAPS, is essential for E. coli to assimilate sulfate [ 54].
Divergent customer requirements demand a product portfolio, which needs to be strategically coordinated.
AD meets function requirements using product lifecycle parameters.
