The Profitability of Customization
Mass customization is really mass configuration
Create and preproduce product and service modules
Configure modules to meet individual customer needs – producing thousands of possible configurations
For manufactured goods, if products are modularized, make to order can be more cost effective than make to forecast – no large inventory

Four Types of Mass Customization
Adaptive customization
Standard but customizable product customers alter themselves
Cosmetic customization
Standard product presented differently to different customers (personalizing backpack with name)
Collaborative customization
Customized product that results from individual customer dialogues, identifying which product offering best meets their needs
Transparent customization
Customized product or service offered without the customer necessarily knowing about it (personalized treatment at a hotel based on observing and remembering preferences)

Competitive Advantage in Mass Customization
Adaptive and cosmetic customization
Easier for customers to get exactly what they want
Company does not remember preferences, so must start over every time
Less competitive advantage
Collaborative and transparent customization
Customers have less control over receiving exactly what they want
Company develops relationship with customer and remembers preferences, so interaction always begins where it left off
Greater competitive advantage

Technology Accelerates Mass Customization
Anything that can be digitized can be customized
Web technology allows customers to personalize products and services themselves, adding individualized value to the product offering
For competitive advantage:
Remember each customer’s unique specifications
Link all customer interactions with previous knowledge of that customer
Use this knowledge to drive production process

Value Streams
Single-product companies (purchased infrequently) can create a value stream of related products and services
Benefits:
Increases revenue by expanding needs set
Builds interactive Learning Relationship
Examples:
Furniture company offering furniture cleaning subscriptions
Clothing store offering tailoring or dry cleaning services
Software systems company offering technical support, training, and upgrades

Using Business Rules for Personalization
Business rules: a reusable set of instructions that enable an organization to operate in a consistent yet flexible way
Can be frustrating when front-line employees cannot change them to benefit customer relationship

Best Practices for Personalization through Business Rules
Best practices:
Appoint one person or business unit to be responsible for individual customer relationships
Minimize the number of enterprise-wide rules
Use the simplest approach possible
Combine business rules with other approaches
Maintain a separate rule base
When no applicable business rules exist, an enterprise’s culture fills in the gap, for better or worse
