    Based on the review on evolution of the production mode,a three-dimensional structure including customer,production and service dimensions was proposed to describe the production mode,and the basic connotation of each dimension was stated in a clear way.In view of the analysis of personalized requirements and personalized products,it was found that there existed asynchronous inconsistency between these two,and then the non-routine natural requirement overrun law was extracted.Furthermore,by introducing the concept of targeted service,the consistency between the two was promoted,and a new production mode,massive personalized customization was formed.Under the three-dimensional structure description of the production mode,the craft production and mass production had been degraded to a one-dimensional structure,while mass customization and mass personalization belonged to a two-dimensional structure.Two core components for implementing massive personalized customization including data-driven design for mass personalization and resilient manufacturing systems for massive personalized customization were proposed,and especially several key technologies contained by them were discussed.Targeted service was illustrated at both conceptual and technological levels,and five major production modes from craft production to massive personalized customization were analyzed from the perspective of value co-creation.The results showed that the massive personalized customization could effectively realize individual requirement through targeted service and had sufficient value co-creation capability.Examining the Haier Group′s “RenDanHeYi” mode,the analysis showed that such a mode was mass customization mode through targeted service to make it conduct the conversion of the interval value of the service dimension from small to large.Relying on targeted service,massive personalized customization could achieve overall optimization of the three dimensions of production mode,which was new development of mass personalization.
