Implementing a Configuration System

Chapter 10 in Product Information Management for Mass Customization, 2006, pp 160-180 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The implementation of a configurator is a costly process that requires technical and managerial considerations. Improper implementation management may lead to delays, excessive costs, and sometimes, to failure. Therefore, it is important to have sound guidelines to plan and execute such a task. This chapter points to three key activities: to analyse what are the benefits of the configurator and to contrast them with its costs; to plan for configuration implementation; to execute implementation activities following the best implementation practices.
