Chapter 9 in Product Information Management for Mass Customization, 2006, pp 141-159 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A company that decides to offer customization through configurable products must face the problem of selecting software capable of supporting this strategy. The market offers a considerable number of software packages, so it may be difficult to understand whether they represent a suitable solution for the company. If so, then the next question is to understand which software is the best. To evaluate alternative software packages, it is necessary to compare the company’s requirements with the technical features of available configurators. The present chapter: sketches some of the key questions in determining the requirements placed upon a product configurator; identifies the fundamental groups of technical features to describe a product configurator; illustrates each technical feature of a product configurator.
