Abstract
An approach to the analysis of the design, planning, and operation of a global, large scale, mass customization production system is presented. Methods used to perform this analysis include discrete event simulation and statistical analytical modeling techniques. First, a detailed literature survey of the area is presented, followed by a description of the approach and then a short case study.
