モジュール共通化による競争優位の実現

In the development phase, one of the important concepts is modularization. It is the purpose that modularization produces many products in the combination of a few modules. The representative examples are Scania's buses and tracks. Scaniais is the commercial vehicle maker of Sweden. In Scania, small numbers of modular components are combined, nevertheless various products are realized. In this paper, modular standardization is treated in the product development stage. That is, the standardization of the modules which constitutes the product profile is realized, so the developed modules are reduced and it accomplishes the new product development efficiency. After the important quality characteristic and the development targets are specifically determined by quality functional deployment, it opts for the composition of corresponding modules. In this paper the module standardization index is utilized, so it unifies modules. Its proposal is evaluated in terms of quality, cost, and development costs, so the optimal composition of the selected modules is realized.
