Purpose – Estimating product cost at the design stage, often referred to as product costing, is vitally important in the product configuration process in the mass customization paradigm. There are three research streams in this field: analogous, statistical, and analytical methods. However, in a mass customization environment, these methods suffer the drawbacks of poor accuracy, low‐agility and an undesirable degree of detail. It is imperative to develop an efficient framework for product costing in mass customization. The paper aims to address these issues.
