Abstract

The techniques of mass customisation in the manufacturing area are
being challenged by more recent trends of made to order processes. This paper
reviews the relevant literature dealing with the challenges of determining specific
made to order processes. The researchers then use a case study approach to gain
insights into what are the new demands on planners and schedulers. Two case
studies in Denmark are highlighted. The researchers found that the tasks of
planning business processes in the order flow is likely change in the future as
increased adaptation to customer ordering takes place, which will force changes to
staff training and company re-organisation.
