Product Module Division Method Based Degree of Modularity

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposes a product module division method based on BOM and degree of modularity. First, based on BOM, the product structure tree is formed by taking spare parts as nodes, and the incidence matrix and correlation diagram are obtained by analyzing a variety of correlation of the nodes. Then, it proposes the definition of the degree of modularity, minimum value and mean value of the optimal degree of modularity are selected to determine the division of the modules. Finally, the working unit of the wheel loader are taken as an example to describe the reasonableness and effectiveness of this method.
