Abstract: To implement mass customization production efficiently, relationships between variety and diversity were studied. And the connotation of product variety was presented. Then an index system considering category, amount, reuse times and product output to measure the variety of product family was constructed based on product family model, which comprised of component index and manufacturing procedure index. By conducting parametric analysis to these indexes, a significant conclusion was obtained conforming to basic principles of mass customization. These indexes were proved to be valid. Therefore, this index system could be used to evaluate and manage product family structure design, and support the product development and design process for mass customization.

Key words: mass customization, variety and diversity, product structure variety, manufacturing structure variety, index system of variety
