Business Rules Approach

This section will look at the benefits of developing products, processes and systems based on explicitly defined business rules.

Mass Customisation requires products and services to be assembled from individual components. The processes of identifying needs, defining the offer, creating it, and then servicing the product or service it throughout its life also requires processes that are assembled from individual process components (or tasks). Whilst the concept of SIM requires a philosophy of allowing the customer to have a unique product or service, there may well be marketing, administrative and regulatory requirements to be met. These requirements  can be expressed as a set of rules. However, rather than hiding these rules within inflexible IT systems or within administrative procedural manuals, much greater flexibility is obtained if they are held in a separate repository. A Rules Based System then binds the components together at the point of execution. It also provides a central point of reference for identifying, interrogating and validating the rules as well as for their reuse.
