“…Structure-based product modeling approaches have been carried out on modeling products in the structural/physical view, such as the Bill-of-Material (BOM), product structure model (PSM), product configuration model (PCM), generic BOM (GBOM), Generic Product Model (GPM), and Adaptive Generic Product Structure (AGPS) [6][7][8]. These modeling methods are categorized as conventional ones (e.g.…”

“…It provides an explicit way of improving understanding of FRs by breaking down the functions into multi-levels, in which a function from a higher level is split into sub-functions at a lower level. Due to its advantages in simplifying the complexity of function analysis, it has been studied by many researchers [6,16,[18][19][20]22]. Van Beek et al (2010) pointed out that different types of functions exist at different levels of abstraction, and they become more dependent when they are detailed along with the decomposition process [17].…”

In One-of-a-Kind Production (OKP), a large number of customised product designs and CAD models are produced in order to satisfy a wide variety of customer requirements (CRs). This situation inevitably results in data redundancy when representing product families. Aiming to solve this issue, in this paper, a structured product model, the modularized generic product model (MGPM), is proposed to reduce data redundancy in OKP product family modeling. A function mapping method is proposed to assign functions/subfunctions to their corresponding items in the MGPM which is capable of supporting the conceptual design stage in New Product Development (NPD). Besides, functions allocated to CAD models form the indexes for these models, which improve the efficiency of case retrieval. Finally, to demonstrate the proposed product modeling approach, a case study is carried out on fruit chute products.

“…Under the production philosophy of masscustomisation, goods and services are produced to meet an individual customer's requirements with mass production efficiency. In essence consumers consume a service or product customised to their own specifications at a cost similar to pre-made, ''off-the-shelf'', generic products or services (Xia and Wang 2010). The challenge for producers is to acquire the agility and flexibility to customise products and/or services of excellent quality, in high volumes at a reasonable cost.…”

Education has long been regarded as the foundation stone of national growth and international competitiveness. In the last three decades national educational reforms to improve access to higher education qualifications, individual higher education institutions' aggressive national and international marketing initiatives and improved information and communication technology (ICT) systems and infrastructure have resulted in greatly increased participation in tertiary education. As a consequence of this wider participation, tertiary educators are now engaging with increased numbers of culturally and economically diverse learners in distributed ICT environments that they, the educators and learners, are often unfamiliar with. There is an expectation that these educators will be able to design learning modules to meet students' multi-cultural needs, in a range of contexts, with no additional resources. In essence, it is expected that learners will participate in individually customised learning events at a cost similar to traditional delivery. This requires a fundamental shift in educators and learners conceptions on the provision of education. The purpose of this paper is to explore how the development and deployment of reflective frameworks, based on recognised international standards, can fully engage learners in mass-customised environments. First this article outlines the key building blocks required for reflective mass-customisation to occur. Second, it illustrates how this concept is being tentatively explored at a New Zealand institution. Finally, it recommends the areas of action for further research on the impact and effect of masscustomisation on learners, educators and institutions to be undertaken.

The importance of customer service in customized design support is introduced. The basic requirements of customized design support are analyzed, including the difficulties and information flow. A model of information flow among customized design, manufacturing and service is built. The layers and support techniques for customized design support are discussed. The customized design support model is set up and the customized design support procedure is presented. A network-based architecture of customized design support system is proposed and the functions are discussed.
