Abstract :
The mass customization (MC) mode has become the main production mode in the 21st century and the product family model (PFM) is the key technique for implementing the product design of mass customization mode. On the basis of an analysis on the operation flow of the MC mode, the customer-oriented MC mode operation flow is proposed. According to the MC philosophy and method system, the requirement analysis of PFM is done. Based on the result of the proposed operation flow and requirement analysis, the PFM which is composed of the data layer, logic layer and the application layer is presented. In this thesis a novel structure of PFM is proposed, which can not only make a full use of the enterprisespsila resources, but can also fully satisfy the customization demand of the customers.
