Additive Manufacturing And Mass Customization: some key examples to reflect on
Additive manufacturing (AM) has been evolving rapidly in the last decade and captivated the imagination of the industry and academia. Currently AM is widely seen in scientific literature as enabler for mass customized manufacturing. However, the research on why this is the case is still lacking. This research explores this “why” by analyzing exemplary cases. Results show that there are MC applications in which AM competes with conventional manufacturing and presents some explanatory mechanisms. The research provides a fine-grained understanding on the impact of AM on MC capability that can be used by researchers and practitioners

A Review of Mass Customization Implementation Guidelines to Support Researchers
Mass customization (MC) is a concept that is gaining constant attention in both industry and academia. Recently MC implementation guidelines have been identified as an emerging sub-stream of MC research. A review of this sub-stream has been performed taking the perspective of the practitioners. In the present paper we focus on the researchers’ need to frame and develop the future MC implementation guidelines. By providing data generated from the systematic literature review on MC implementation guidelines we inform the researchers on how much and in which way a certain aspect of MC implementation guidelines has been considered in the available guidelines. In result, with systematic and detailed description of the previous works, the present paper supports researchers to clearly communicate (to other researchers) similarities and differences of their research and to frame and write their works
Proceedings of the 22nd International Configuration Workshop
The 2020 Workshop on Configuration continues the series of successful workshops organized within IJCAI, AAAI, and ECAI since 1999. Starting from 2013, the workshop was held independently from major conferences. Even in this 22nd edition, beside researchers from a variety of different fields, it attracted a significant number of industrial participants from major configurator vendors as well as from end-users. The 2020 Workshop on Configuration is a standalone two-day event. It was planned to takes place in Vicenza, Italy at the Department of Management and Engineering of Padova University. Due to COVID19 pandemic, it has been moved online. A total of 18 papers were selected for presentation on the Configuration Workshop. All papers underwent to full paper blind review with a minimum of two independent reviewers per paper. All papers have been substantially changed to comply with the reviewers’ observations. The themes of the technical sessions are knowledge representation & reasoning, peculiar technologies for configuration (machine learning, conversational agents (chatboats and voiceboats), social software, Microsoft excel), configuration of products in use (reconfiguration, adaptation, renovation, maintenance, repair), business applications with a special focus on the provision of empirical data to depict the state of the art on configuration practices
The relationships among mass-customization enablers: A review of theory-testing research
Understanding the relationships among mass-customization enablers is crucial for the development of mass-customization implementation guidelines. The guidelines reviewed by Suzić et al. (2018, Production Planning & Control. 29 (10), 856-871) collectively focus on eight enablers and suggest a mainly sequential implementation process, mostly on the basis of analytical conceptual research and single case studies. The present paper complements Suzić et al.’s (2018) work by reviewing prior theory-testing research on the enablers of mass customization and on the relationships among them and by comparing the results of this stream of research with those of Suzić et al. (2018). This work not only leads to a richer picture than the literature on mass-customization implementation guidelines had offered, but also indicates several research gaps and mixed findings as interesting opportunities for future research
