The forthcoming paradigm of Mass-Individualisation combines the low-cost advantage of Mass-Production with the buyer's individual need for specific products. Buyers initiate the product and its features, and manufacturers build it at low cost in local factories with rapid communication. This paradigm requires innovation in product development, manufacturing system design, system operations, and business strategies.
The forthcoming paradigm of Mass-Individualisation will combine the low-cost advantage of the Mass-Production paradigm with the buyer's individual need of a specific product. The buyers will initiate the product and its features that fit their explicit taste and individual needs, and the manufacturer will build it at low cost in a local factory, which enables a rapid communication of the factory with the buyer. The realisation of the mass-individualisation paradigm requires innovations in (a) product development, (b) manufacturing system and network design, (c) system operations, and (d) business strategies. New factories will have to be in proximity to the customers who participate in the design of their product, which will have an enormous economic impact on local economies. We elaborate on the research challenges and directions for the realisation of the emerging mass-individualisation paradigm.
