| | Mass customization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Mass customization, in marketing, manufacturing, and management, is the use of flexible computer-aided manufacturing systems to produce custom output. | | | If an enterprise's marketing department offers individual products (atomic market fragmentation) it doesn't often mean that a product is produced individually, but tends to mean instead that similar variants of the same mass produced item are available. | | | Adaptive customization - firms produce a standardized product, but this product is customizable in the hands of the end-user (the customers alter the product themselves) |

| | But mass production, although allowing lower prices, does not have to mean low-quality production. | | | Third, the increasing complexity of operations required employment of a large management staff of accountants, engineers, chemists, and, later, social psychologists, in addition to a large distribution and sales force. | | | Instead, mass-produced goods are standardized by means of precision-manufactured, interchangeable parts. |

| | Furthermore, in customising products, ‘user participation’ is vital, and therefore housing suppliers need to offer design support communication services to their clients in locations with design-consulting staff and appropriate communication tools to facilitate user choice of standard components in customising an end product (Noguchi and Friedman 2002b). | | | Where "MC" denotes a mass customisation system itself; "P" is the ‘product‘ sub-system that help housing suppliers mass-produce housing components, while "S" is the ‘service’ sub-system that involve the interaction with users (or buyers) which help them customise an end product (Noguchi and Friedman 2002a). | | | To generate a housing development, these two aspects are again involved with housing materials and systems as the products and the design and construction of these homes as the services. |

| | Mass Customization in the Hosptiality Industry: Concepts and Applications / July 2000 |
| | The mass production system has dominated the industrial world for many years and it is now moving on to mass customization in recent years of increasing market fragmentation and customer demand. | | | A transparent customizer uses a standard representation to mask the customization of the product and finally adaptive customizers change neither the product nor the representation of the product but they provide the customer with the ability to change both the product's function and/or its presentation to meet their needs. | | | Mass customization is neither a simple strategy to undertake organizationally and operationally, nor is it a simple concept to comprehend. |
