Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , Strategische Entwicklung modularer Produktfamilien - Methoden und Validierung(Springer, 2025-10-20); ; ; ; Modularisierung ist eine Schlüsselstrategie, mit der sich sowohl innovative Produktideen als auch neue individuelle Kundenanforderungen in bestehende Produktportfolios integrieren lassen. Aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse umschließen ein breites Themenfeld von der Auswirkung der Modularisierung bis zur Anwendung in Forschungsprojekten, Einbindung von Nutzern in die Entwicklung, sowie Adressierung von spezifischen Unternehmenszielgrößen. Gleichzeitig müssen diese methodischen Ansätze einer situationsgerechten Methodenvalidierung standhalten, die in der Grundlagenforschung am Institut untersucht wird.Publicationtype: Book Part43 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , Product family engineering along the life cycle – research aspects to cope with variability in advanced systems(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2024-10-31); ; ; The evolutionary development of advanced systems (AS) leads to a necessary rethinking of how they can be supported methodically and in terms of processes in product development. Advanced systems engineering (ASE) offers a novel and holistically adaptive approach to facing such challenges in a structured way. However, many of the ASE use cases relate to the development of systems as products, product networks or individual projects. The additional consideration of entire modular product families within AS offers a further decisive advantage for companies, organisations and the people in ASE. By considering modular product families along the entire life cycle in a product family engineering (PFE), the approaches of ASE can bring their impact and potential to additional system levels occurring when considering product families. The systems, which become complex through variety and collaboration, are broken down into their system elements in a structured way and prepared for a common interdisciplinary understanding, as conveyed by ASE. In this paper, the PFE is presented in excerpts using examples of various aspects and points in time of the product’s life as a complementary approach for ASE.Publicationtype: Journal Article34 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Supporting modular product family representations by methodically utilising meta-models(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2024-05); ; ; Due to the rising multidisciplinarity and connectivity of products especially modular product families, a sophisticated handling of the information is crucial for reducing complexity during the development. System modelling techniques have evolved to assist engineers with managing information. However, nowadays, it is rarely focusing on modular product families. This paper introduces a meta-model based on an ontology, which improves the creation and management of modular product family and its occurring data. The meta-model is presented using the example of a Passenger Service Unit (PSU).Publicationtype: Conference Paper37 46 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Applying a product modularization approach on the case of a battery pack(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2024-05); ; ; ; Hein, EugenWhen designing battery packs, opposing target-conflicts and design goals arise due to the different disciplines involved in the development process. Looking at the available technologies for battery pack design, different solutions can be found on the market. The development of a battery pack for use in various scenarios therefore presents an interesting use case to evaluate product modularisation approaches. Hence, this paper discusses the application of the Integrated PKT Approach based on a fictious use case of a modular battery pack to derive potential starting points for its improvement.Publicationtype: Conference Paper48 59 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , Complexity Coping by Methodical Agile and Modular Product Development - A Bibliometric ReviewThis bibliometric analysis identifies the extent to which the methodical development of modular product families (product side) and agile project development (process side) can be beneficial for coping with complex product development tasks. The accomplished co-occurrence analysis reveals an indirect relationship between the development of modular product families and agile product development. This indirect connection is because the different methods are incorporated in the field of Design Methodology. However, the analysis leaves a gap in the direct interaction of both subjects, a subsequently accomplished bibliographic coupling points out. A consecutive in-depth abstract and paper analysis reveals further research on their integration is necessary.Publicationtype: Conference Paper72 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , Enhancing Collaborative Modular Product Development: Interface Allocation and Associated ResponsibilitiesFor meeting the dynamic demands of customers on a product, development increasingly relies on expertise from a diverse array of disciplines and domains. Only this collaboration makes it possible to provide comprehensive and practical approaches to solutions for various challenges. However, in addition to variety-induced complexity, this adds complexity due to increased collaboration. Particularly in developing modular product families, this circumstance leads to an expanded consideration of collaboration in subsystems, enabling effective product-family-system development. Collaboration in modular product families leads to a necessary integration of the consideration of interfaces' dependencies, responsibilities, and specifications. This paper presents an approach to identify and manage interface responsibilities in multi-disciplinary modular product-family systems using product and organization view matrices. Results from previous studies are put into a processual context to coordinate the collaboration considered. A matrix-based solution on product and allocated organizational elements improves collaboration.Publicationtype: Conference Paper15 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Development of Modular Architectures for Product–Service Systems(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-09-01); ; ; ; Driven by servitization, an increasing number of manufacturing companies are transforming from being a pure product provider to a provider of Product–Service Systems (PSS). PSS offer unique benefits to both providers and customers by combining physical products and intangible services. However, this results in an increase in variety for the provider, which causes an increase in variety-induced complexity and, finally, also in costs. This correlation is proven based on the literature; possible approaches to manage the complexity are presented and the current research gap is addressed. To address the gap, a method for the development of modular architectures for PSS is presented in this paper. The method comprises five phases and supports companies from identifying PSS-based business models up to modularizing product components and service components. To validate this method, it is first applied to the example of a product family of pressure-reducing valves and then its results are discussed afterwards. It is proven that this method is suitable for the development of modular PSS architectures, but there is also a need for further research, which is described in the Conclusions section.Publicationtype: Journal Article38 139 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , Zielgerichtete Gestaltung modularer Maschinen-Architekturen: Ermöglichen digitaler Fabriken durch die Entwicklung digitalfähiger SystemeA digital factory is a good approach for optimizing value streams. Various aspects contribute to the design of digital factories - on the process side and on the product/system side. This ranges from machining centers to autonomous transport systems. Each of these products/systems must have a corresponding architecture that facilitates integration. Therefore, the system architecture design should not be neglected and is an essential part of the development process. With the methodical development of modular architectures, products/ systems are supported in their integration into digital factories. This article shows how the Integrated PKT-Approach for Developing Modular Product Families enables this.Publicationtype: Journal Article37 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
