Details	In this study, we examine how the mass-customisation system can be applied to manufacturing operation management in order to achieve the proper balance between the efficiency and the effectiveness. In particular, we analyse this problem using the "high-low entropy framework" model, This model describes that the problem can be resolved through the mass-customisation system which contains both entropy heightening factors and lowering factors, In order to make this clearer, we propose "the high-low entropy framework for mass-customisation with SCM" to show that the mass-customisation system could realise the complementarity between entropy heightening factors and lowering factors, even though the complete complementarity can never be attained.
