To motivate modularization projects throughout all phases of life, different effects of modular product families were collected in previous works on a literature basis. In this paper, a validation concept is presented, which will investigate these effects by using statements directly from industry representatives. In particular, the industry background is included in the evaluation to generate a more differentiated overall picture of impacts of modular product families.en2633-7762202023952404Cambridge University Presshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/IngenieurwissenschaftenConference Paper10.15480/882.349310.1017/dsd.2020.11410.15480/882.3493Other
