Review

Aus den Rezensionen:

"‘Product Customization’ zeigt auf sehr anschauliche Art und Weise, wie eine Strategie der kundenindividuellen Massenproduktion ... durch die Modularisierung von Produkten ... umgesetzt werden kann. ... Hvam, Mortensen und Riis verbinden sehr geschickt in ihrem Buch Theorie und Praxis und zeigen ... umfassend Vorgehensweisen auf, wie Konfigurationssysteme schrittweise aufgebaut werden können. ... Die Darstellungen werden flankiert von abgewandelten Praxisbeispielen. ... Die Autoren selbst haben in mehr als 40 Fallen ... Konfigurationslösungen entwickelt, was der Praxisorientierung des Buchs zugute kommt. Für Unternehmen ... ist das Buch äußerst empfehlenswert." (Dr. Heiner Depner, in: RKW Bücherdienst, 2008, Issue 4, S. 7 f.)
