Mass customization is an emerging production mode which advantages is that it can gain economy of scale and economy of scope at the same time. This thesis makes a study on production management mode of mass customization. Firstly, this thesis makes an explicit definition to mass customization by utilizing three dimensions concluding process complexity, product variety and customer involvement point. Then, the author proposes to make a CDOP decision of mass customization production system by using customer satisfaction level as the evaluating indicator. The CDOP can be delayed by adopting standardization technology and adjusting the order of processes. All of the production should be organized and planned based on CDOP. In the stage of production organization, Pareto's Law is suitable for organizing the production of general parts and an ABC classification is made to facilitate the management of general parts. An evaluation criterion is proposed to assess whether outsourcing should be done or not. In the customized production, lean production and group technology are used to establish manufacturing units, which are organized by push operation mode. In the stage of production planning, a technique called "module-attribute-value" is adopted to improve the structure of BOM, the new BOM can simplify the management of product data. A multi-linear programming model is constructed to make the master schedule of mass customization. In the end of this thesis, the author analyzes the inevitability, actuality and strategy to implement mass customization in Chinese enterprises.
