Managing Services for Business Markets
From a collaborative engineering perspective, mass customization can be viewed as collaborative efforts between customers and manufacturers, who have different sets of priorities.
It aims to deliver product and services that best meet customers’ needs with near mass production efficiency
Mass Customization
The paradigm shift to mass customization is mainly propelled by three forces :
Market demand - ‘the mass market is dead and segmentation has progressed to the era of mass customization’ – Kotler(1989)
Market competition - Product variety is exploding while product life cycle is shortening
Technological revolutions - Flexible manufacturing systems allow manufacturers to quickly adapt to changes without incurring high penalty in terms of cost and lead time
