摘要: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate modularity degree in terms interfaces and innovation.Design/methodology/approach research objective achieved through a modeling approach for deciding modular architecture its implementation regarding unique components product innovation. A case example presented elaborate on the concept provide an option choosing best module from different alternatives.Findings can be considered design strategy, which loose coupling standardized component interfaces. Loosely coupled interfacing prerequisite developing mass customized products. There needs decision support system formulate order achieve maximum benefits. This illustrated paper.Research limitations/implications strategy measuring level formulated theoretically. vali...
