所有行业的企业都变得更加以客户为导向。学术界和工业界对这些方法的广泛研究证明，商业实践对大规模定制的兴趣和努力日益增加。大规模定制已被公认为制造企业的新战场。它通过提高客户感知价值和降低设计、制造和供应链成本的协同作用来提高盈利能力。大规模定制是通过并行化、集成化、标准化、团队化等方式实现客户、产品、过程和物流的联盟，以提供越来越多的产品品种来满足不同客户的需求，同时保持接近大规模生产的效率。这是一个复杂的过程，并行工程和扩展/虚拟企业的方法在协调各种产品生命周期的关注发挥作用。尽管自相矛盾的“大规模定制”是在20世纪80年代中期创造的，但直到最近几年，研究才开始加快步伐。在过去十年中，关于大规模定制各个方面的论文数量增加了五倍。考虑到这一点，这期特刊的目的不仅是讨论国家的最先进的并行企业的方法和途径，以客户为导向的制造，但也探讨了实施大规模定制的障碍和挑战，以及分析其潜力和能力。本文第二部分简要介绍了大规模定制的一些基本问题，作为客户驱动型企业的关键战略。第3节概述了特刊所载文件强调的一般性主题。在第4节中，我们评论这些论文的影响，为未来的研究大规模定制系统的一般框架内的并发企业。最后，谨此向在整理特刊过程中给予我们支持的人士致谢。
Enterprises in all branches of industry are becoming more customer driven. The increasing interest and effort of business practices heading towards mass customization have been witnessed by an extensive study of these approaches in both academia and industry alike. Mass customization has been recognized as a new battlefield for manufacturing enterprises. It enhances profitability through a synergy of increased customer-perceived value and cost reduction in design, manufacturing and the supply chain. Mass customization through concurrent enterprising is an approach to achieving an alliance of customers, products, processes, and logistics by means of parallelity, integration, standardization, teamwork, and many others, for delivering an increasing product variety to satisfy diverse customer needs while maintaining near mass production efficiency. It is a complex process where the concurrent engineering and extended/ virtual enterprising approaches have roles to play in coordinating various product life-cycle concerns. Though the oxymoron ‘‘mass customization’’ was coined in the mid-1980s, research has started to pick up pace only in recent years. The number of papers published on various aspects of mass customization has increased five-fold in the last decade. With this in mind, the intention of this special issue is not only to discuss the state-of-the-art of concurrent enterprising methods and approaches toward customer-driven manufacturing, but also to explore the obstacles and challenges of implementing mass customization, as well as to analyze its potentials and capabilities. Section 2 of this editorial opens the discussion by briefly introducing some fundamental issues of mass customization as key strategies for customer-driven enterprises. Section 3 summarizes the general themes highlighted by the papers included in the special issue. In Section 4, we comment on the implications of these papers for future research on mass customization systems within the general framework of concurrent enterprising. Finally, this editorial is concluded with acknowledgements to those individuals who have given us support during the process of collating the special issue.
