A Meta Model based Configuration Approach for mass-customizable Products and Services
نویسندگان
چکیده
We argue that extensibility is the key factor for domain independent mass customization solutions concerning product and service modelling and configuration. A modelling approach for hardand soft-customizable products and services is introduced. To achieve extensibility a metamodel based strategy is chosen concerning modelling and implementation aspects. The meta model is based on a flexible and generic concept for modelling highly variable products and services of practically any domain. Such a meta model cannot only be understood as the basis for product modelling or configuration, but for the whole mass customization supply chain.
