Entwicklung eines Produktarchitekturmodells zur Ableitung modularer Produktstrukturen

Abstract

Modularization can help shorten product development lead-times. enable customer-oriented product differentiation. enable economies of scale through commonality and economies of scope such as innovativeness and flexibility. Modular product structures based on modular product architectures are to be developed in order to make these advantages available to companies within product family creation. This contribution provides methodical support in conceptualization of the initial product family by adapting methodical steps and graphical product development models. This forms the basis for future product generation design and efficient product life-cycle management.
