“…Regarding personalization levels and flexible processes, literature shows that the manufacturing systems (make-to-order/ build-to-order and engineer-to-order), reconfigurable production (logic and physical), product configuration (modular production and products family platform) and order preparation and delivery are practices related to this research field (Ismail et al, 2007;Al-Zaher et al, 2013;Levandowski et al, 2015). Make-to-order/build-to-order and engineer-to-order systems are listed as manufacturing strategies with a high level of flexibility to meet the customers' individual needs (Claycomb et al, 2005;Purnomo and Sufa, 2015;Levandowski et al, 2015).…”

“…Make-to-order/build-to-order and engineer-to-order systems are listed as manufacturing strategies with a high level of flexibility to meet the customers' individual needs (Claycomb et al, 2005;Purnomo and Sufa, 2015;Levandowski et al, 2015). Reconfigurable physical and logical productions are designed to change and adjust quickly to the production structure and can thus offer a high flexibility level to respond in a timely manner to the customer requirements changes (Al-Zaher et al, 2013;Dev et al, 2014). Modular products and product family platforms are listed as two types of configuration that provide the standardization level needed for companies to adapt quickly and efficiently to new markets (Jiao et al, 2006).…”

“…Through Supply Chain Flexibility, firms could respond effectively to such requirements and meet the individual needs of their customers (Lummus et al, 2003;Stump and Badurdeen, 2012). This is because more flexible supply chains could allow firms to change their processes, resources, structure and management mechanisms (Lummus et al, 2003;Al-Zaher et al, 2013). The competitive advantage derived from a collaborative supply chain relationship should result in subsequent benefits to the consumer by developing more personalized products (Hoyt and Huq, 2000).…”

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the mediating role of Supply Chain Flexibility on the interrelationships binding Lean Production implementation, Mass Personalization and business performance. Design/methodology/approach A random sample of 260 companies obtained from a population of 1,717 Spanish companies that occupy an intermediate position in the supply chain has been used to test the proposed hypothetical framework. Telephone surveys using a computerized system have been used to collect data, obtaining a response rate of 15.6 and a structural equation model has been designed to test the six proposed hypotheses. Findings Companies initially implement Lean Production to optimize Mass Personalization processes and improve business performance. However, in the presence of Supply Chain Flexibility, Lean Production implementation no longer has a direct impact on Mass Personalization and business performance, but it does have an indirect impact through the flexibility it achieves (shown as a total mediating path). Therefore, companies should implement Lean Production to achieve flexibility and thus optimize the Mass Personalization processes and obtain better performance. Originality/value Academics and business managers may have supporting evidence on the role played by the total mediating effect of Supply Chain Flexibility on the relationship between Lean Production, Mass Personalization and business performance. A better knowledge of these management resources and their relationship could affect the way researchers and practitioners approach them, becoming more aware of the important role of the supply chain in competitiveness.

“…Automotive manufacturers explore economies of scale and scope through globally shared features of their products or models, for example: (1) sharing common automotive development, (2) collaborative engineering processes, (3) incorporated manufacturing processes. In small automotive industry, particularly in Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region; the primary issues with the current systems are capability to produce multiple models in a single line and an integration between material handling and equipment.…”

Abstract.Current trend in automotive industry shows increasing demand for multiple models with lean production. Prior to that, automotive manufacturing systems evolved from mass production to flexible automation. Material handling systems and equipment in a single assembly line with multiple models require high investment but with low throughput thus making production cost relatively high. Current assembly process of side structure and undercarriage with downtime occurrence during assembly process affecting production performance (quality, cost and delivery). Manufacturing facilities should allow more flexibility and increase intelligence evolving toward novel reconfigurable assembly systems (RAS). RAS is envisaged capable of increasing factor flexibility and responsiveness by incorporating assembly jig, robot and framing, which could be next generation of world class automotive assembly systems. This project research proposes a new methodology of framework reconfigurable assembly systems principles in automotive framing systems i.e. enhance assembly process between side structure assembly and undercarriage assembly which a new RAS is capable to reconfigure the assembly processes of multiple model on a single assembly line. Simulation software (Witness) will be used to simulate and validate current and proposed assembly process. RAS is expected to be a solution for rapid change in structure and for a responsively adjustable production capacity. Quality, cost and delivery are production key parameters that can be achieved by implementing RAS.
