Modular configuration model for complex engineering products

Qingsong Zhao, Lars Hvam, Moritz Ruhrmann, Niels Henrik Mortensen

ABSTRACT:

Product configuration systems support customized design in complex engineering. However, as products grow in complexity, the configuration model also grows, making it important to manage these models effectively. Based on industrial case studies, This study shows how companies structure their configuration models and how modularization helps improve flexibility, maintainability, and scalability. The results provide empirical insights and practical guidance for structuring robust configuration models in complex engineering contexts.
