“…There are number of modelling techniques used for knowledge representation in configuration projects [10][11] [12]. For this project it was decided to use Product Variant Master (PVM) and class diagram associated with Class, Responsibility, and Collaboration Cards (CRC), which build on UML [13].…”

-Adequate documentation is critical for successful implementation, maintenance and further developments of product configuration system (PCS) specially in companies making complex and highly engineered products. This article is based on experience of modelling and utilizing a PCS from an Engineer-To-Order (ETO), where the main focus is on the challenges concerned with the documentation of the PCS, both in the development and production phase. Aligning the development of the PCS with an automatic documentation system creates value. Using the suggested method for documentation facilitates the following activities: (1) iterative testing of the system during the development, (2) communication with domain experts, (3) documentation and maintenance, and finally (4) updates without spending a lot of time and resources. This article is supplemented with a case study from an ETO company where the method for the automatic documentation was developed and tested.

“…Examples are the recommendation of features and feature values (Coester et al 2002, Tiihonen andFelfernig 2010), the recommendation of relaxations (Fel fer nig et al 2009), and the reuse of cases for the determination of new configurations (Tseng, Chang, and Chang 2005). The reuse of cases is and has been intensively investigated by the CBR community (Mantaras et al 2005).…”

“…The argument that customisation falls within the framework of quality is reversed by MacCarthy et al (2003b) who identify quality as one of a wide range of product attributes that are customizable, such as functionality and aesthetics. An expanded list of the customizable attributes is presented in Table 1 and is offered also as a standardised terminology of feature customisation, something which is currently lacking in the MC literature (Tseng et al, 2005). In this paper these attributes are used to appraise the relevance of quality techniques.…”

The business philosophy of Mass Customisation (MC) implies rapid response to customer requests, high efficiency and limited cost overheads of customisation. Furthermore, it also implies the quality benefits of the mass production paradigm are guaranteed. However, traditional quality science in manufacturing is premised on volume production of uniform products rather than of differentiated products associated with MC. This creates quality challenges and raises questions over the suitability of standard quality engineering techniques. From an analysis of relevant MC and quality literature it is argued the aims of MC are aligned with contemporary thinking on quality and that quality concepts provide insights into MC. Quality issues are considered along three dimensions -product development, order fulfilment and customer interaction. The applicability and effectiveness of conventional quality engineering techniques are discussed and a framework is presented which identifies key issues with respect to quality for a spectrum of MC strategies.
