... The couplings are documented and extracted from the DSM and MDM as flows and interactions [21]. In a previous analysis by Zuefle et al. [22], it has already been suggested that module drivers can be considered and used in a diversified manner, in line with the goal of the architecture. Based on this concept, module drivers are used in the MHC to investigate discipline-specific designs. ...
... Since the existing product-strategic module drivers are too generic for the examined view, more specific module drivers must be used for the use case. In addition to the existing module drivers, according to Erixon, the use case maps non-functional requirements of the development disciplines [16], [22]. ...
... Among other things, the module drivers used for the representation are Upgradeability, Transferability, and Exchangeability [22]. Due to the conducted utility analysis, exchangeability and the mechanical structure received the highest prioritization. ...

Product systems no longer consist merely of discrete components that can be designed and developed independently. Instead, the product systems take on an increasingly complex shape, reflected in product architecture development. Various stakeholders in this product architecture must collaborate across life phases and disciplines to an increasing extent. To support the exchange in multi-disciplinary product systems in the context of modularization, the visualization tool of the "Module Harmonization Chart (MHC)" is presented in this paper. The "MHC" enables the representation of components in a multi-disciplinary system, thus supporting cross-disciplinary collaboration in developing an integrated modular design. Aspects such as discipline-specific module drivers and targeted sub-system segments can be used to address a holistic module design and improve overall system integration.

Climate change and the growing consumption of natural resources has made it increasingly clear that engineering must focus on the development of more sustainable products. To do so, the methodologies for developing products need to address sustainability. However, many of the frequently used methodologies, such as Modular Function Deployment (MFD) or the Life Phases Modularisation (LPM), do not do that sufficiently. The product life phases, these methodologies are based, only address sustainability in the form of recycling. That is why a broader approach to sustainability, such as the R-imperatives, is not considered. Therefore, in this contribution, the model of product life phases is extended by integrating the R-imperatives. Furthermore, the module drivers resulting from the extended product life phases that are necessary to apply the MFD and the LPM are developed. Finally, the positive impact of the developed module drivers on the product architecture is shown by applying the resulting method onto an industrial example.

Für die Optimierung von Wertströmen ist die digitale Fabrik ein guter Lösungsansatz. In die Gestaltung digitaler Fabriken fließen verschiedene Aspekte mit ein – auf Prozess- und auf Produkt-/Systemseite. Letztere erstreckt sich von Bearbeitungszentren bis hin zu fahrerlosen Transportsystemen. Jedes dieser Produkte/Systeme muss eine entsprechende Architektur haben, die die Integration erleichtert. Die Gestaltung der Systemarchitektur sollte daher nicht vernachlässigt werden und ist essenzieller Teil der Entwicklung. Mit der methodischen Entwicklung modularer Architekturen werden Produkte/Systeme bei der Integration in digitale Fabriken unterstützt. In diesem Beitrag wird aufgezeigt, wie der Integrierte PKT-Ansatz zur Entwicklung von modularen Produktfamilien dies ermöglicht.

Product modularization in new product development has attracted considerable interest among scholars and practitioners from diverse fields of specialization. This has resulted in cross‐disciplinary diversity in the field, diverting attention from its overall intellectual structure and hindering the development of a common view and shared concepts. Extant research lacks an integrative review, transcending a focal discipline that could identify gaps and ambiguities while making recommendations to advance the field. Considering a period of 30 years (1990–2020), we generate a data set of 2,988 citing publications to which we apply a co‐citation analysis. Thereby, we uncover the intellectual structure of the field and find three research perspectives that represent key knowledge bases: 1) product system, 2) production system, and 3) organizational system. Delimiting the data set into four periods, we can track developments over time, where we notice an increasing disintegration of the product system perspective, which is rooted in the discipline of engineering design. Within the two other perspectives, we document extensive dynamism in terms of publications, especially in the two most recent periods, indicating an active discussion and a potential receptivity to new trends. For these periods, we also identify an emerging cluster of fundamental publications and an increasing emphasis on the concept of system architecture. Leveraging the synthesis of these results, we forge links between neighboring disciplines and recommend avenues for further research, ideally to develop a more common view.

Product developers are faced with the challenge of covering an ever-increasing external variety with as little internal variety as possible. Modular product architectures offer one way of resolving the challenge. They have an impact on all life phases and on economic targets. These effects are represented in the Impact Model of Modular Product Families. A large number of modularization methods can be found in the literature. The modularization methods consist of different activities: decomposition of product, analysis and revision of components and reintegration to modules. Module drivers play a major role in reintegration, as they determine which components together form a module. It is not yet clear what effects different modularization methods involving different module drivers have on economic targets. For this reason, the module drivers are examined in their role as levers of modularity and integrated into the Impact Model via access points. By documenting the results in a specially developed uniform method step description and in the Impact Model, we enable the selection of modularization methods with regard to their economic impact. The introduction is followed by the state of research. In section 3, the research problem and the research approach are presented. In section 4, the generic method-step description is applied to seven modularization methods. Based thereon, the modularization methods are compared with each other with regard to their addressed economic objectives. In an explanatory example, the method selection made possible by this is presented. Finally, the results are discussed and an outlook is given.

A neurointerventional training model called HANNES (Hamburg ANatomical NEurointerventional Simulator) has been developed to replace animal models in catheter-based aneurysm treatment training. A methodical approach to design for mass adaptation is applied so that patient-specific aneurysm models can be designed recurrently based on real patient data to be integrated into the training system. HANNES’ modular product structure designed for mass adaptation consists of predefined and individualized modules that can be combined for various training scenarios. Additively manufactured, individualized aneurysm models enable high reproducibility of real patient anatomies. Due to the implementation of a standardized individualization process, order-related adaptation can be realized for each new patient anatomy with modest effort. The paper proves how the application of design for mass adaptation leads to a well-designed modular product structure of the neurointerventional training model HANNES, which supports quality treatment and provides an animal-free and patient-specific training environment.

Changes in customer requirements have led companies to offer not only pure products, but increasingly holistic solutions. These holistic solutions consist of products and services and are called product-service systems (PSS). One possibility to develop PSS is the usage of modular product architectures, as this is an established approach in product design. The aim of this work is to verify the importance of modular product architectures for the development of PSS. For this purpose, the established topics in the field of PSS design will be analyzed with the help of a co-citation analysis and then existing methods for the design of PSS will be evaluated. Finally, the findings are summarized and an outlook on further research topics is given.

Product modularity has been discussed in engineering and management literature for over forty years. During this time span, definitions and views on the meaning of product modularity proliferated to the extent that it is difficult to understand the essential traits of the concept. While definitional ambiguity is often a byproduct of academic debate, it hinders the advancement of scientific knowledge as well. This paper aims to move a step forward toward a more precise definition of product modularity, by articulating a product system modularity construct in the domain of tangible, assembled artifacts. More precisely, the paper constitutively defines product modularity in terms of component separability and component combinability. An indirect operational definition for product modularity is then proposed by operationalizing component separability and component combinability. The proposed definition is finally related to other definitional perspectives synthesized by a literature review: component commonality, function binding, interface standardization, and loose coupling. In this way, the nomological network of the product modularity construct is laid out. Construct validation activities are left to further research

Empowering customers and democratizing manufacture for product value co-creation are the main driving forces shaping the future of manufacturing. In this trend, personalization has received extensive attention as a new product realization strategy in the last decade where one-of-a-kind products are delivered to meet individual needs through customer participation in design, fabrication, and/or assembly. Personalization of products requires an appropriate assembly architecture, which describes the layout of personalized functions and support their cost-effective realization. An open, modular product architecture that can integrate personalized modules with other manufacturer-prescribed modules is a key enabler for personalization. Developing personalized products requires the coordination of the design of product architecture with manufacturing process and supplier selection. A concurrent design framework, built upon the intrinsic dependency of product architecture design, and process and supplier selection, can help manufacturers to optimize product development decisions for designated objectives, including shortened product development time and higher profitability. The development of such a concurrent design framework must address some critical challenges, such as modeling heterogeneous customer preferences, integrating personalized module configuration in an integrated decision model, achieving robustness of product architecture, and developing a nexus of product architecture, process, and supplier. In this dissertation, three tasks are carried out in developing a concurrent design framework for personalized product architecture design, and integration with manufacturing process and supplier selection: Task 1. Integrated design model for personalized product architecture. A decision hierarchy is developed for product variety determination, module variant selection, and personalized module configuration. A profit model is formulated as an architecture performance metric, incorporating customer preferences and manufacturing cost. Product utilities for individual customers are evaluated by a customer preference modeling method combing conjoint analysis, market segmentation, and Monte-Carlo simulation. Customer purchase probabilities are estimated by a logit choice model for profit calculation. Manufacturing constraints about process and material are included as they influence a manufacturer’s planning of candidate module variants and production strategies of personalized modules. These models are used to determine a product family architecture that maximizes potential profit. Task 2. Robustness optimization of personalized product architecture. Design uncertainty will cause performance fluctuation of a product architecture. The variation of profit due to uncertain customer preferences and cost estimates is formulated using a sensitivity analysis. A robustness index is introduced by combining the objectives of maximizing profit and minimizing variation. A robustness optimization model is established to optimize product architecture by maximizing the robustness index. Task 3. Integrating optimal process and supplier selection in personalized product architecture design. The architecture decision hierarchy in Task 1 is extended by including the manufacturing process and supplier selection decisions. A cost structure model is formulated to link the decisions about product architecture, processes, and suppliers. Thus, a concurrent optimization method is developed for integrating process and supplier selection in product architecture design. This dissertation research leads to three outcomes: (1) it provides a practical solution to leverage customer personalization preferences in personalized product architecture development; (2) it builds a foundation for the design integration of product, process and supply chain in personalized product development; and (3) it offers a tool for concurrent design of personalized product architecture, and process and supplier selection, which can help manufacturers to optimize product development decisions to increase product profit and reduce profit variation under market and manufacture uncertainties.

Research in modularization of product families reveals numerous individual cause and effect impacts of modularity on the firm. While many modularization methods are present in the literature, an overall combined picture of the interrelations of modular product structures on the firm is yet missing. This makes the construction of an economic business case for modularity difficult. The aim of this work is to show a causal network of how modular product structures affect a firm's economics through modularity's impact on the firm's activities over its products lifecycle phases. Therefore we introduce a literature based impact model on the basis of three main cause and effect node types, being (1) modularity property causes leading to (2) product life phase effects, leading to (3) economic impacts. We show how modularization decisions on a product family structure can impact activities in the product life cycle differently and the resultant economic outcomes. The cause and effect model is a combined summary of the corpus of knowledge found in the literature, highlighting for example that modularity can have an initial negative delaying effect on the development time for a platform followed by a positive reduction in product variant development times, and can a positive impact on reduced manufacturing costs. For validation the model was evaluated by industrial experts against nine case studies of major product-family-wide design projects, marking effects that were experienced and observed in their modularization projects.

To achieve sustainable development, conserve energy and reduce emission are the themes of modern society. Life Cycle Design is an important design philosophy while Modular Design is one of the modern design ways which produced in the economic development. This paper presents a more perfect Modular Design based on Life Cycle Design. This paper will be developed in three parts: the first part introduces the basic concepts of the Life Cycle Design, Modular Design and the relationship between them; the second analyses the necessity of Modular Design in all stages of the product life cycle and the matter to be attended to; and third presents the method and steps of the Modular Design based on the Life Cycle Design and takes the design of range hood as an example in order to explain it.

Assembly is the capstone process for product realization where component parts and subassemblies are integrated together to form the final products. As product variety increases due to the shift from mass production to mass customization, assembly systems must be designed and operated to handle such high variety. In this paper we first review the state of the art research in the areas of assembly system design, planning and operations in the presence of product variety. Methods for assembly representation, sequence generation and assembly line balancing are reviewed and summarized. Operational complexity and the role of human operators in assembly systems are then discussed in the context of product variety. Challenges in disassembly and remanufacturing in the presence of high variety are presented. We then conjecture a future manufacturing paradigm of personalized products and production and discuss the assembly challenge for such a paradigm. Opportunities for assembly system research are summarized at the end of the paper.

Function-oriented business models or product–service systems (PSSs) are often seen as an excellent means for achieving ‘factor 4’. SusProNet, an EU network on PSSs, showed a more complicated reality. At least eight different types of PSS exist, with quite diverging economic and environmental characteristics. The economic potential of each type was evaluated in terms of (i) tangible and intangible value for the user, (ii) tangible costs and risk premium for the provider, (iii) capital/investment needs and (iv) issues such as the providers' position in the value chain and client relations. The environmental potential was evaluated by checking the relevance of certain impact reduction mechanisms (e.g. more intensive use of capital goods, inherent incentives for sustainable user and provider behaviour etc.). Most PSS types will result in marginal environmental improvements at best. The exception is the PSS type known as functional results, but here liability and risk premium issues, amongst others, need a solution. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.
