Why to design modular products?

This paper is based on the development project of productivity by applying principles product modularity and design reuse. The focus companies operating in manufacturing industry specializing large investment deliveries. Analyzing business impact one method tool used modularization projects. analysis made to ensure that modular products supporting way operate justified supports company’s strategic objectives. Preliminary analyzes are usually carried out before actual technical starts justify starting project. Analyzes also during at different stages, for example compare alternative concepts or module partitioning types. To support modularization, several possible benefits value creation mechanisms have been identified previous publications. These can be linked many stages life cycle. first reviews main through a literature review. In addition this, an ongoing case study with deliveries, we present as new information latest findings potential reinforce literature.
