Integrated Product and Channel Decision in Mass Customization

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 centra… Show more

“…On the other hand, downstream customized-produced firms have to tailor and detail final products and sell them via the Internet, both upstream and downstream sides exist game relationship. Though some literatures [28] [29] have studied the competition (game) model between upstream and downstream firms along supply chain, such as Alptekinoglu & Corbett studied competition between two multi-product firms with distinct production technologies (MP and MC), and analyzed the subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium in the three-stage game, i.e., the firms simultaneously decide whether to enter the market, next, the MP and MC choice, finally, both firms simultaneously set prices [30]. Xia & Rajagopalan used the duopoly game model to determine the choice of MP and MC modes in different firms [31].…”

“…Mass customization has been studied by several authors (Fogliatto, Silveira, & Borenstein, 2012, MacCarthy & Brabazon, 2003, Machado & Moraes, 2008, Pinto, Gutierrez, & Quintella, 2010, Pourabdollahian, Corti, Galbusera, & Silva, 2013Quintella & Oliveira, 2007;Shao, 2013), and it has the potential to help companies increase revenue and gain competitive advantage, improve cash flow, and reduce waste through on-demand production.…”
