Abstract
To offer individualised products at globally marketable prices, Institute PKT’s integrated approach to developing modular product families aims to generate maximum external product variety using the lowest possible internal process and component variety. Methodological units of product program planning, design for variety, life phases modularization, module lightweight design and process-oriented product development support the creation of modular product families during the product development process.
