Aeropostale uses batch flow because they make their products in groups. They will make the same shirt in groups with different sizes. Same with pants, sweaters, and shorts. They customize mass of products and they fall into the batch made to stock cell in the process characteristics matrix. Some factors that influence the process selection are market conditions, capital requirements, available cost of labor, and state of technology. Aero can not adopt any of the mass customizations methods discussed because it would cost more money to specialize in filling orders.
