Dell is one of the computer technologies which maintains a close relationship
with its customers and suppliers. It collects personalization information from
customers via the internet and allows them to select their preferred
configurations online. After that, it customizes and assembles parts instantly.
Thanks to its modularity and web-based features for order processing, Dell
successfully implements made-to-order. (WallStreetMojo, 2022). The benefits of
the mass customization strategy are to allow Dell customers to choose a range
of colors, structures, patterns, and improve brand image. It also ensures timely
delivery using existing equipment and technologies, as well as programs and
procedures......................................................................................................... 26
