Abstract
Design for variety (DFV) practices such as product modularization, platform thinking and design for manufacturing/assembly have been suggested to yield considerable operational performance benefits. Some of these performance effects can be expected in all manufacturing settings, including the position of the customer order decoupling point (CODP). Other effects, however, may be more CODP-dependent. As the influence of the CODP on the performance effects of DFV has not hitherto been researched and empirically validated, the objective of this paper is to address the question whether the position of the CODP affects the performance effects of DFV practices and, if so, how?
