Abstract
Customising products efficiently by means of development and manufacturing costs as well as attractiveness to the customer is essential in a mass customisation strategy. This paper aims at providing a classification of customisation means which can be utilised for product customisation. This is done by reviewing customisation means identified in literature and classifying them in a UML diagram. The results form the foundation for future research in product customisation including the relations to development and manufacturing processes.
