Big size highly customised product manufacturing systems: a literature review and future research agenda

The paper presents a systematic literature review on big size product manufacturing systems in MTO and ETO environments. In particular, the analysis is focused on highly customised, big and heavy products, calling for highly engineering solutions. This kind of products are characterised by low-volume demand, complex material bills, need of more than one worker in the same workstation (caused by the component dimensions and complexity),...
