The IMCM'05 takes place at the University of Klagenfurt, Austria.
The main objective of this international conference is to drive forward
the research on mass customization and to close the gap between theory
and practice. Practitioners and researchers working in this field are
invited to submit their papers in which they present original works and
new advances in mass customization. This can refer to theoretical
concepts,
information and managerial tools as well as best practices for
supporting
a successful implementation of mass customization. Ongoing or completed
research as well as papers with a main focus on practice and case
studies
are welcome. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
Track 1: Manufacturing systems for mass customization
* MC product and process design
* Variety management and costs of variety
* Production planning and control
* Product family management and modular architectures
* Complexity of mass customizing systems
* Custom order control in MC manufacturing systems
Track 2: Supply chain management in mass customization
* Logistic systems for MC
* Customization of logistic processes
* Logistic systems complexity
* Customer and supplier integration
* Adaptive supply chains
* Placement of the decoupling point in the supply chain
Track 3: Information systems for mass customization
* Customer needs' elicitation
* Personalization and advisory systems
* Product modeling and configuration systems
* Customer-Relationship-Management systems
* IT-architecture and infrastructure for MC
* IT-support for open innovation
Furthermore, due to the complex and interdisciplinary disposition of
the topics, we expect contributions from business administration,
