Study of the product family structure model of automotive chassis for mass customization

The method of implementing the design for mass customization is proposed. The planning process of a product family is analyzed,the concept of the product function and structure component(PFSC) in the product family structure model is introduced,and the relation between each PFSC and that of the PFSC to a product are discussed. As an example, an analytic hierarchy model of customer requirements for automotive chassis is constructed,and the structure model of automotive chassis oriented to mass customization is described .
