Abstract Through systematically defining the constructing elements of coding system, this paper pointed out the drawbacks of current part classification and coding systems and established flexible classification and coding system for masscustomization. Additionally, flexible definition based on chain and hiberarchy was proposed and corresponding coding system had been developed, which implemented auto-coding of parts through coding tree. This system had been effectively applied in one motorcycle-hydraulic-disk brake factory in Zhejiang Province.
