The concept of Modular & Platform Design represents a strategic approach to product innovation and development. Modular & Platform Design enables maximizing customer perceived value, improving operational efficiency, and reducing complexity-related costs through the identification of modules, technical and organizational platforms. This course provides a comprehensive and applied overview of these methodologies.
OBJECTIVES
Through this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the theoretical and practical foundations of modular design
- Discover the benefits of platform approach and modularity
- Use tools such as VOC, QFD, VRP and Top-Down Design
- apply product architecture and configuration techniques
- Reduce time-to-market and increase operational efficiency
- Promote standardization of components and processes
