Abstract

Mass Customization (MC) is often used to improve customer service and to reduce operational costs in manufacturing companies, and it can also be applied in low-scale contexts, such as construction. This paper aims to assess how construction companies are implementing MC. We compared a framework of MC found in the literature with three case studies and several improvement opportunities were highlighted. As a result, we could conclude that the MC is being poorly used in the construction business and companies can benefit by increasing the implementation of MC tools and techniques
