Changeability and agility enablers in one-of-a-kind product development and design processes

Abstract The smart factories that are already beginning to appear employ a completely new approach product creation. Smart products uniquely identifiable and know both their current status alternative routes achieving target state. allow individual customer requirements be met, meaning even one-off items can manufactured profitably. In industry, dynamic business engineering processes enable last-minute changes design production, delivering the ability respond flexibly disruptions failures on behalf of suppliers. This paper presents case study development process renovation according changeability paradigm in one-of-a-kind industrial environment. It demonstrates how integration with agile strategies crucially contribute improve operations highly individualized business. Successful management ‘never-ending’ appears most important aspect this field. Contribution presented work is generalized framework companies such specific environments competitiveness through utilization concepts. included validated proposed model offers valuable insights into implement practice.
