Modular configuration model for complex engineering products
Qingsong Zhao, Lars Hvam, Moritz Ruhrmann, Niels Henrik MortensenABSTRACT:
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.
