Abstract
Globally operating companies have realized that locally customized
products and services are today the prerequisite for the success.
The capability or the paradigm to act locally in global markets is
called Mass Customization [Victor 1997]. The prerequisite for Mass
Customization is Configuration Management and i Configuration
Management the most important means is Modularisation.The goal of
this paper is to show Configuration Management as a contribution
to the Mass Customisation and Modularisation as a contribution to
the industrialisation of the design area [Andreasen 1997]. A basic
model for the creation of a structured product family is presented
and examples are given. The concepts of a novel Dynamic
Modularisation method, Metrics for Modularisation and Design for
Configurability are presented.
