摘要: Today, many companies develop modular systems to realise considerable product differentiation and variation while simultaneously reducing costs through economies of scale [1]. Designing these be lasting robust in a highly dynamic environment [2], avoiding subsequent modification cost [3,4] staying innovative over the lifecycle is crucial for sustainable success an increasingly competitive market [5]. Two closely related surveys were carried out on initial situation described above. The first survey deals with major conflict between planning reliability flexibility regard future boundary conditions that challenges lead to. data presented this article was collected from German companies, mainly automotive industry, developing manufacturing complex products using systems. Other represented operate machine plant construction industry. comprises answers 39 participants, gathered via online questionnaire. 17 questions are divided into two topics: characteristics problem description environments management thereof. second anticipation innovations design selection right choice variety possible considered. manufacturers, which manufacture 501 14 obtained allows identification existing deficits dedicated research solutions.
