This book is about a practical approach to the Mass Customization of
complex products and services, namely "Configure-to-Order", the
definition of modular product packages and their configuration on
demand, to fit customer-specific needs. "Configure-to-Order" concepts
apply equally well to configuring complex products, services and
software and are relevant in industries ranging across manufacturing,
public services and financial services. The objective is to provide the
reader with a manageable approach to modularization and Mass
Customization, the benefits of this approach and the shift necessary to
get there.
