Abstract
The issue of mass customization becomes increasingly meaningful to the global economy. A need exists for a sustainability approach of mass customization. The four aspects customer co-design, needs of each individual customer, stable solution space and adequate price must be considered. A core point of a concept of sustainable mass customization is the design and customer co-design of products and services. The goal of our Grand Management Information Design approach is to support the concept of mass customization with sustainable products and services according to the sustainable needs of end users.
