Abstract

Information management is one of the key success factors for implementing mass customization (MC). In order to support MC scenarios in an efficient way, efficient information systems are needed. In this paper, a theory-based approach for the requirements engineering process is illustrated. Based on a dynamic and autonomous view of enterprises working together, an exemplary MC supply chain is introduced. The MC specific requirements for information systems are derived by using transaction cost theory and principle agent theory. Based on the list of requirements, a 3-level architecture for mass customization information systems is proposed.
