A Mass Customisation model is discussed as a competitive positioning strategy in the marketplace adding value to the customer's end-use. It includes the user as part of the construction process responding to the customer's demands and wishes. To the present day, almost all proposals for Mass Customisation have been focused on the design phase and single family houses. The reality is that the processes carried out in the work execution are so inefficient that the costs of the Mass Customisation models are assumed by the customer and they do not offer solutions that support the change management. Furthermore, this inefficiency often makes Mass Customisation unfeasible in terms of deadlines and site management. Therefore, the present proposal focuses on achieving the paradigm of Mass Customisation in the traditional residential construction complementary to the existing proposals in the design phase. All this through the proposal of a framework for the integral management in the work execution, which will address change management introduced by the users offering an efficient and productive model that reduces costs in the process. This model will focus on the synergy between different strategies, techniques and technologies

“…This gap is caused mainly by the high stiffness of manufacturing elements located in the lower levels of production [4]. In previous work we have proposed a vision of Industrial Machinery and Service (se call IMaaS -Industrial Machinery as a Service) [5] [6], integrated under a paradigm of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). This proposal has been successful to solve the problem of gap mentioned, enabling you to model the manufacturing processes of industrial machinery as a part of the System of Business Process Management (BPMS) [3].…”

This paper proposes a new manufacturing paradigm, we call Cloud Agile Manufacturing, and whose principal objective is to offer industrial production systems as a service. Thus users can access any functionality available in the cloud of manufacturing (process design, production, management, business integration, factories virtualization, etc.) without knowledge -or at least without having to be experts -in managing the required resources. The proposal takes advantage of many of the benefits that can offer technologies and models like: Business Process Management (BPM), Cloud Computing, Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Ontologies. To develop the proposal has been taken as a starting point the Semantic Industrial Machinery as a Service (SIMaaS) proposed in previous work. This proposal facilitates the effective integration of industrial machinery in a computing environment, offering it as a network service. The work also includes an analysis of the benefits and disadvantages of the proposal.

“…Offering a vision of industrial machinery as a service (IMaaS) [5], integrated in accordance with a ServiceOriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm, has led to a successful proposal for solving this problem by considering industrial machinery manufacturing processes as just another element of the business process management system.…”

“…It adapts these processes in an agile way to the resources that exist in each of the organisations. To this end, the proposal is based on the synergy between the IMaaS model, which considers industrial machinery as a service [5], and the incorporation of knowledge in the definition of the processes and services involved through the use of ontologies described in [6].…”

“…Other proposals, such as IMaaS, which is described in [4][5], present industrial machinery as part of a business process management system (BPMS), indicating its functionality as services in accordance with the SOA paradigms [11] [5]. This latter focus is one that has been used in the general scenario described in the proposal of this paper in order to enable the implementation of BPMS in manufacturing organisations.…”
