Customer Involvement Catalog Builder Based on Internet/Intranet in OKP

Catalog book is the main and efficient means for a manufacturer to demonstrate its products, description and related prices during the whole year. With the evolution of the business and new technology, it is time to address the need of producing printed annual price catalogs in a new way. In order to facilitate customer involvement in the product process, a framework of extended supply chain is introduced; particularly a web-based catalog builder for One-of-a-Kind Production (OKP) is presented. A customized window & doors catalog is used as an application to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
