Summary on the research of designing method for mass customization oriented product family

Tang Wen-cheng

Abstract

Product family design is the key and core of mass customization design. A classified summing-up has been carried out for currently existed multi-methods of mass customization oriented product family design. An exposition has been made emphatically upon methods of product family design based on modularization and adjustable variables, which includes method of product family systematic architecture (PFA), robust concept exploratory method (RCEM), product platform concept exploratory method (PPECM) and variant based product desk method (VBPDM) etc. Taking these as the base the deficiency and developing trend of the present product family design was analyzed.
