Modularisation as a means of product and process integration
online resource
posted on 2006-06-13, 11:46 authored by Russell MarshallRussell Marshall, Paul LeaneyInvestigative work carried out to determine a strategy to address
modularity as a facilitator for integration of design with
manufacture. Modularisation is considered in conjunction with a
large car manufacturer, a company that produce geophysical
measuring systems for down hole drilling, and a company that
produce electronic scanners for the pre press printing industry.
Generic factors are being determined. These factors touch upon
the benefits to product and process integration and also areas in
which modularisation enables effective product customisation in
meeting market needs. The aim, is to pool and document
experience that can then be analysed and presented in a more
accessible form by providing guidelines / checklists, evaluation
tools and a product strategy based on derivatives.
