Abstract: Mass customized production is the type of production using a combination of knowledge of craft production and mass production to achieve this goal. One of important managerial problems of manufacturing companies is an increasing complexity of product structure, which results from a wide variety of products needed to satisfy customer requirements. From economic point of view, this type of production is profitable and has many benefits such as reduction of inventory. This paper presents an overview and definition of mass customized manufacturing, development stages, decisive approaches to mass customized manufacturing and main problems resulting from this type of manufacturing. Finally, an overview of approaches to complexity measures and complexity management are provided.
