Abstract:
Business strategies extensively focus on individualization of the product portfolio due to globalization as well as increasing competition and cost pressure. This challenge leads companies to structuring their products and technologic solutions according to the design principles of modular product platforms. In order to establish such a modular product platform successfully regarding the alignment with the company`s products and targets, the choice of the conceptual design is crucial. Therefore, this paper introduces five fundamental conceptual design types of modular product platforms.
