Abstract
Mass customization (MC) has been introduced as the future of manufacturing,
and great results have been proven. Recent research, however, documents
a high failure rate for companies trying to adapt to MC as a business
strategy. Making this transition is, as highlighted by several scholars, an enterprise
transformation that requires strategic control mechanisms. This paper contributes
to existing MC literature with an overview and analysis of available MC performance
assessment methods. Shortcomings of the literature are identified and
directions for future research given.
