Configuration Process and Configurable Products

Cipriano Forza and Fabrizio Salvador

Chapter 2 in Product Information Management for Mass Customization, 2006, pp 16-31 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As product variety increases, product configuration activities grow in complexity, with negative implications on the order acquisition and fulfilment process. In order to avoid this problem, it is necessary to thoroughly analyse the configuration process and the interdependence between configuration process and the characteristics of the product to configure. The aims of this chapter are: to define a generic configuration process, identifying the essential logical aspects; to explain the different sub-tasks in a generic configuration process; to identify the characteristics of configurable products.
