Research on the End-to-End Modularity Process for Manufacturing Enterprise

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article studies the end-to-end modularity process from market segment analysis, concept design, engineering to the final product delivery stage. Accordingly, the Voice of Customer can be effectively mapped into the product properties and functioned by specific modules. The major purpose is to systematically integrate the application of modularity in critical stages of product lifecycle and to facilitate the awareness and realization of modularity for manufacturing enterprise, so that the comprehensive benefits of modularity such as short time-to-market, parts number reduction, and high production efficiency can be realized effectively.
