The
Customer Centric Enterprise: Advances in Mass Customization and Personalization
Mitchell M. Tseng and Frank T. Piller |
|||
In order to generate product
variants not only by customized assembly of standard parts but by individual
manufacturing processes, an innovative production control is necessary.
In this chapter, the methodology of the Segmented Adaptive Production
Control is presented to perform this task. The approach combines the two
basic control principles push and pull. Using the mass-production character
of the pull principle and merging it with the customer-oriented push principle,
the basic approach of mass customization is applied to production control.
The sophisticated system allows controlling the manufacturing of both,
parts manufactured in mass production as well as customized parts, at
the same work stations. |
