  4. Problems • Shipping lag times- delays for customers to receive product • Multiple suppliers • Supplier relations and Order rules • Supply chain blurs • Loss in production efficiency by producing on demand and not producing batch. • Warehouse stock outs vs. over stock • The market loses its predictability because dependencies disappear. • Legalities • Are there issues with mismatching components? • Return policy nightmare! …all sales are final. • Can the Product be easily and affordably shipped?

  5. Advantages • Customers are able to have more control of the products they buy • Computers make this strategy efficient • Web presence allows the ability to reach a large geographic • First Mover Advantage • In many niches it is a new business strategy

  6. Considerations • Brand Awareness for a custom product • Comparing apples and oranges • CMAX had none. (No longer in business) • NikeID (Revamped their website in Feb.) • Target demographic • Are they web users? • Do they trust eCommerce and web transactions? • Standardization • Are the products standardized • Interchangeable

  7. Potential • Firstly Requires: • Products with interchangeable parts (a practical issue) • Performance or cosmetic enhancement related (as a buyer incentive) • Examples (aligned in my interests): • RC Cars • Paintball • Snowboards • Inline Skates!
