“…For instance, a firm can develop a platform product, which is a set of common modules and manufacturing specifications and from which a stream of derivative products can be efficiently created and launched (Sanchez, 1996;Ismail et al, 2007;Huang et al, 2007;Dan and Tseng, 2007). This platform technique can develop a family of related products that share design ideas and manufacturing components but target different market segments.…”

“…I N response to growing individualization of demand in the increasingly competitive market, many companies are considering or have adopted mass customization technologies [8], [9], [15], [20]. Mass customization is generally described as a process by which firms apply technology and management methods to provide product variety and customization at a low cost through flexibility and quick responsiveness.…”

This paper explores the effectiveness of mass customization strategies in a manufacturing firm. The manufacturing firm produces standard products in a flexible factory where mass customization is technologically feasible. We integrate product strategy and channel design to explore whether the firm should adopt mass customization and how the distribution channel should be configured for custom products. We find that the mixed mass customization strategy dominates the pure standard product strategy in the centralized system. For the decentralized system, we identify the parameters that would impact superiority of each product strategy. We further discuss two channel structures for mass customization: single-channel strategy and dual-channel strategy, and find that the dual-channel strategy is always superior to the single-channel strategy when mixed mass customization is adopted.Index Terms-Channel structure, flexible capacity, mixed mass customization, pure standard product strategy.

“…Some studies have looked more broadly and the managerial and implementation issues of component commonality, typically in combination with product platforms and modular designs (Halman et al, 2003;Ismail, Reid, Mooney, Poolton, & Arokiam, 2007;Marion, Thevenot, & Simpson, 2007;Meyer & Dalal, 2002;Meyer & Mugge, 2001;Nobelius & Sundgren, 2002;Salvador, Rungtusanatham, Forza, & Trentin, 2007;Sanchez, 1999;Zwerink, Wouters, Hissel, & Kerssens-van Drongelen, 2007).…”

ABSTRACT Purpose À The paper provides an overview of research published in the innovation and operations management (IOM) literature on 15 methods for cost management in new product development, and it provides a comparison to an earlier review of the management accounting (MA) literature (Wouters & Morales, 2014). Methodology/approach À This structured literature search covers papers published in 23 journals in IOM in the period 1990À2014.Findings À The search yielded a sample of 208 unique papers with 275 results (one paper could refer to multiple cost management methods). The top 3 methods are modular design, component commonality, and Advances in Management Accounting, Volume 26, 139À274Originality/value À This review of research on methods for cost management published outside the MA literature provides an overview for MA researchers. It highlights key differences between both literatures in their research of the same cost management methods.
