Controlling Design Variants: Modular Product PlatformsAn increasing number of successful manufacturing companies use the notion of modules and product platforms. But, what is a module and how can modular product platforms increase company efficiency while reducing time to market? This book describes modular design, the driving forces behind it and how it can help companies shorten developmental lead times, manage a high degree of customization, and reinforce product identity. This book also presents a systematic method for incorporating modular design principles into product development. Actual case studies from Volvo, Atlas Copco Controls, VBG, and Sepson illustrate how the method achieves increased company efficiency while reducing time to market. |

Beliebte Passagen
Seite 3 - As the manufacturing industry heads into the 21st century, companies have started thinking in terms of product platforms with the main objective of shortening development lead times and increasing commonality between products.
Seite 4 - Instead of searching for an optimal design for an optimal product, the objective of a modular product platform is to create a strategically flexible product design that allows product variations without requiring changes in the overall product design every time a new product variant is introduced.
