Modulardesign, or modularity indesign, is adesignprinciplethat subdivides a system into smaller parts called modules (such asmodularprocess skids), which can be independently created, modified, replaced, or exchanged with other modules or between different systems.

Abstract This study examines barriers to integratingdesignfor assembly (DFA)principlesintomodularproductarchitectures using themodularfunction deployment (MFD) method - a critical step for enabling cost-efficient mass customisation. Despite the known benefits of DFA, its adoption in earlydesignstages remains limited. Drawing on qualitative insights from a focus group involving ...

This paper is based on the development project of productivity by applyingprinciplesofproductmodularity anddesignreuse. The focus is on companies operating in manufacturing industry and specializing in large investment project deliveries. Analyzing the business impact of modularity is one method and tool used in modularization projects. The analysis is made to ensure that the investment ...
This research emphasizes the importance of lean, agility andmodulardesignconcepts and of individual assessment for successful Industry 4.0 implementation in SMEs.
One of the generally accepted solutions to the problem of increasingproductcomplexity is amodularproductdesign. A key issue towards such a modularizedproductdesignis an early consideration of requirements and constrains coming from theproductionmodules during theproductdesignphase.
