“…Product configurators have also been referred to as design systems, co-design platforms, and toolkits (Robertson and Ulrich, 1998;Piller, 2004;Salvador and Forza, 2007). A product configurator is an intelligent information system that supports the creation of products with variations using a set of modules, as well as rules influenced by companies' marketing strategies and available resources (Haug, 2007;Aleksic, Jankovic and Rajkovic, 2017). Those modules and rules stored in a knowledge base form a product family architecture (PFA) that drives the product design in configurators (Mitchell M and Jiao, 2001;Blecker et al, 2004;Wikberg, Olofsson and Ekholm, 2014).…”

To improve productivity, the construction industry is increasingly adopting methods of industrialized construction. A key strategy to support industrialized construction is to leverage an adaptable product development platform, i.e. a configurator. Although many benefits of configurators (e.g. mass customization) have been witnessed in the manufacturing industry, the application of configurators in construction is limited and immature. This paper reviews eleven configurators in academic research and four configurators in industry practice. First, using a comparative analysis, the authors generalize three strategic typologies of configurators developed and implemented for industrialized construction. Second, stakeholder requirements are identified for each typology. Finally, the technical approaches, including related methods and theories, are reviewed using a framework of three-tier architecture decomposition. The findings contribute to practice by allowing AEC stakeholders to understand strategic typologies and customer requirements for configurators. This can assist in guiding the future development of mass-customized configurators.

“…In the literature, this strategy is called the engineer to order [ETO], and is characterized by the customer involvement in the product creation on the very beginning of value chain (Bonev, 2015). ETO production profile seems to be tailored for conditions of 21st century economy, when demand for customized products is reaching the highest level ever (Aleksic, Jankovic & Rajkovic, 2017).…”

In this paper the method of improving production control in engineer to order [ETO] small and medium sized enterprises is presented. Briefly, the strategy of Mass Customization [MC] and a concept of the hybrid MC-ETO production system are demonstrated. Thereafter, a method of choosing components for small batch manu-facturing in advance, under conditions of single unit ETO production system, with application of fuzzy logic is described. This approach can be used in ETO companies during their transition into the hybrid MC-ETO production systems. The research was done in a collaboration with experts from the real ETO pro-duction system, in Polish SME, which manufactures mechanical parts.
