Description
In this FREE mini course I will provide you with a good and broad introduction to the topic of modularization and mass customization.
Mass Customization seeks to take the benefits of traditional mass production such as uniform quality, standardized and or automated processes, lower prices etc.
and combine it
with the flexibility and unique solutions of highly customized products and services
In this introduction course:
-I will teach you WHY an organization or business should even care about modularization and mass customization, as it can provenly put businesses way ahead of competition in an increasingly more demanding market, where highly customized products are expected to be delivered fast, in high uniform quality at a competitive price-tag.
-I will show you HOW you can follow a scientifically acknowledged 7-phase methodology to obtain the massive benefits, while ensuring a structured way of working and thus increasing the chances of your success.
-I will provide inspiration for WHAT concrete and highly applicable tools and strategies to use throughout the different phases of the methodology.
-Finally, I will provide you with an overview of WHO can benefit the most depending on the contextual situation.
There are NO prerequisites for taking the free mini course, other than a genuine interest in topics such related to industrial or mechanical engineering, supply chain management, operational excellence, operations management, complexity management, manufacturing, business performance or similar.

Very nice and focused intro to mass customization... Thanks a lot
The course is beneficial, practical, and easy to follow. I highly recommend it to anyone that has an interest in mass customization. The course explains an academic framework that can be used in product customizations but also goes the extra mile to provide an overview of the tools that can be used in each stage to achieve sustainable scaling.
This course exceeded my expectations! I was thrilled to have found such a course on this topic. The instructor brings relevant examples and connects theoretical subjects with the real world. I certainly recommend it to anyone, from beginners to experienced workers in the field. Thanks Anders for the lessons!
It was a very interesting course! I learned a lot about what is relevant to be aware of when you want to use Mass Customization and which opputuinities there are when you're using the configuration tools... It brought me to a lot of reflection about how a company can get better performance by using data. I'm looking forward to learn more about the topic :-) !
