A framework to master increasing complexity
Personalized shoes or an individual car configuration - individualization and modularization have become part of the daily lives. In contrast, many manufacturers of industrial goods are still in the early stages of introducing modular products and services. A massive expansion of the variety of parts and increasing complexity in production challenge conventional views and processes. Modularization can help to reconcile the high product variance and internal efficiency with the lowest possible complexity.
In this White Paper, Porsche Consulting presents a framework that anchors modularization in the DNA of companies. Intelligently applied, modularization helps manufacturers of industrial goods to increase customer orientation while reducing costs due to complexity.
