N2 - Mass customization has opened a new realm of product design optimization. These problems require optimization of multiple objectives and have a very vast possible solution space. This paper presents an approach to solve this class of problems using social network based product representations to obtain component level information and then applying Genetic Algorithms to optimize the problem. We consider the case of assembling a PC from 16 subcomponents to demonstrate our approach, and use an established multi-objective GA Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II to optimize the problem. The objectives considered are cost, expected product life required by the user and product performance. Our results reduce the possible solution set from a 10 order to a 10 order figure. The approach is intrinsically robust and produces correct results even when the constraints specified by the user have a small error.
