“…In contrast to pure customisation, MC limits the degree of latitude afforded to customers in specifying product attributes. Limiting the degree of customisation enables the 'Mass' characteristics to be preserved in terms of economics, response time and quality (Li, Chang, and Chang 2010). The goal is to provide a product offering that allows the customer to configure, choose and differentiate on key attributes to meet their essential requirements but also to allow the customer to satisfy at least some of their other desires and wishes in product attributes.…”

“…MC focuses on those attributes on which customers most wish to differentiate . This makes it attractive for the customer and potentially operationally and economically viable for the producer (Li, Chang, and Chang 2010). One way of offering MC is by adapting the ATO concept so that those product attributes on which customers most wish to customise are achieved after the decoupling point.…”

The growth in product variety has been accelerating in almost all product categories over the last four decades. Providing high levels of variety and customisation is challenging for many producers. Here the range and diversity of order fulfilment approaches available to producers to respond are examined critically. A continuum of six fulfilment approaches is presented, encompassing both traditional approaches and those that have emerged more recently. The new integrated perspective focuses on how a producer can respond to provide relevant product variety and customisation. Demand-side and supply-side factors influencing the need for greater flexibility in order fulfilment systems are identified and the need to balance both is emphasised. Two specific approaches -mass customisation and open pipeline systems -are analysed in detail. The range of order fulfilment approaches is considered in the context of postponement and production system decoupling. Challenges in two sectors -the clothing sector and the automotive sector -are analysed. The factors affecting the choice of order fulfilment approach are discussed. Producers experiencing the competitive pressures to provide greater levels of variety and customisation need to consider the full range and diversity of order fulfilment approaches discussed here.

The need to transform the organisation for mass customisation has long been recognised in literature, but the discussion has largely relied on anecdotal evidence or case studies and has limitedly taken advantage of insights from organisation theory. In this paper, we draw on organisational information-processing theory to develop solid theoretical links between mass customisation capability and four organisation design strategies aimed at either increasing an organisation's information-processing capacity or decreasing its informationprocessing needs. We then test the hypothesized relationships using a sample of 238 manufacturing plants from three industries and eight countries, and find that mass customisation capability is positively related to self-containment of tasks, environmental management, and use of lateral relations. We conclude by discussing implications of our results for both research and practice.

“…Including the autoindustry, clothing industry, and computer industry, many major economic industries benefit from this production mode [13]. Overall, most studies of MC mainly discuss the production modes, including the MC approach and its product design [14,15], MC production planning and control technology [16,17], MC cost of production [18], and factors and conditions that affect MC [19]. With the increase of research on MC, many scholars review the literature in the field.…”

Revenue-Sharing Contract Models for Logistics Service Supply Chains with Mass Customization Service

The revenue-sharing contract is one of the most important supply chain coordination contracts; it has been applied in various supply chains. However, studies related to service supply chains with mass customization (MC) are lacking. Considering the equity of benefit distribution between the members of service supply chains, in this paper, we designed two revenue-sharing contracts. The first contract for the maximum equity of a single logistics service integrator (LSI) and single functional logistics service provider (FLSP) in a two-echelon logistics service supply chain was designed by introducing the fair entropy function (“one to one” model). Furthermore, the method is extended to a more complex supply chain, which consists of a single LSI and multiple FLSPs. A new contract was designed not only for considering the equity of an LSI and each FLSP but also for the equity between each FLSP (“one toN” model). The “one to one” model in three-echelon LSSC is also provided. The result exemplifies that, whether in the “one to one” model or “one toN” model, there exists a best interval of customized level when the revenue-sharing coefficient reaches its maximum.
