Despite the numerous competitive advantages of one-of-a-kind production
(OKP), the low efficiency and high costs associated with OKP companies
threaten to push their business opportunities into the hands of cheaper
overseas suppliers.
One-of-a-Kind Production introduces a novel strategy and technology to help
OKP companies to efficiently mass-produce customized products. In
One-of-a-Kind Production, case studies from OKP companies are used to
validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the OKP strategy and
technology. These case studies include:
a structural steel construction company,
a manufacturer of specifically ordered compressors and refrigeration
systems, a customized high pressure vessel manufacturing company, and
a custom window and door manufacturer.
