No tools = no costs

3. “Powerful, flexible and reliable 3D CAD systems for a
digital design of the shoe ”

4. “Software tools to work on the last, adjust the design on
the individual last, create digital mock ups of the shoe”

5. “Tagging systems to track the flow of the individual
orders in the manufacturing process”

6. “Highly reactive supply chain management systems and
fast responding suppliers”

software”

8. “Flexible , automated , highly self adjustable machines,
for the main processing tasks”

9. Produce only what is needed by customers (from push
to pull)
Preserve efficiency of production no matter what the
size of the production lot is (from few lots of many, to
many lots of one)
Increase the scale of
operations (throughput)
to bring customization to
masses
