An Approach Towards Operationalization of Modularization Interfaces for Industrial Product Development

The specification of interfaces is critical in modularization and product architecture development. Literature defines as (1) the arrangement functional elements, (2) mapping from elements to physical components (3) between interacting components. However, other scholars state that should include more than components, such spatial, material, energy, information exchange. This view has been extended attachment, transfer, control communication, power, field, environmental interfaces. use through lifecycle reuse them architectures generations, there must be an approach handle applicable a company. research contributes by presenting way operationalize (investigate abstract concept, it’s essential make it measurable tangible) introducing interface requirements are definable, measurable, testable properties part development process description. method illustrated applying industrial case study.
