Abstract

Modular product architectures are for many manufacturing companies seen as one of the solutions to an ever-increasing demand for more customized products. However, the transition from a non-modular to a modular product portfolio can be difficult and hard to realize. Previous research has focused on creating ontologies and data models in order to create new knowledge to be used during this transformation process. However, these models require extensive information and data and are therefore difficult to incorporate in today’s industry. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to present an approach to create a data model in which it is possible to use data mining technics to generate valuable knowledge for the transition process and the continuous management of a portfolio of modular product architectures. The approach and techniques are presented through a company case and a discussion is made on the usability of the result.
