Abstract

In the previous chapters we discussed various specific aspects related to product configuration: the problem of product configuration, configurable products, possible approaches to product configuration, etc. Each aspect was illustrated with examples, but up to this point, we have not considered a comprehensive analysis of all the aspects associated with redesigning the configuration system in a company that intends to improve competitiveness. This chapter presents a complete example of how one company effectively managed to redesign its configuration system. In particular, this chapter deals with: the original configuration process and the problems the company had to face; the project for implementing the new configuration system; the solutions used for product modelling; the new configuration process and its advantages.
