“…Completely individual modular systems will be different if they are formed through different methods of decomposition [30]. In order to facilitate research on the architectural design of residential plans of the prefabricated housing, the plan systems are divided by the decomposition of the functions into three levels of modules [31]: the first-level suite-type module, the second-level functional space module, and the third-level component module.…”

In recent years, due to the advantages of high construction efficiency and less environmental pollution, prefabricated housing has been of increasing interest and vigorously promoted. However at present, most prefabricated houses simply pursue an increase in assembly rate, and the floor plan design still continues to follow the traditional design method of housing, which does not meet the requirements of industrialization and cannot achieve the goal of product diversification. This paper puts forward a method for floor plan designs of prefabricated houses whose core is building plane module libraries. The modules in module libraries all conform to standardized and refined designs. A new residential floor plan can be obtained by selecting and recombining modules in module libraries. The richer the module library, the more diverse the results will be under the same combinatorial logic, which can greatly improve design efficiency. In addition, this paper probes the method of creation and applications of plane module libraries in detail, so as to provide a new idea for floor plan designs of prefabricated houses. This research is of great significance for improving the efficiency of floor plan design of prefabricated housing and realizing goals of standardization and diversification of prefabricated housing development.

“…This idea was generalized and refined as three unique architectural decomposition perspectives: function, assembly, and maintenance‐based decompositions . The initial decomposition process is executed by designers and system architects on a functional basis, and the decomposition is extended to increase the level of granularity of the decompositions . However, in complex systems, decomposing a product into its atomic constituents is highly impractical .…”

“…However, in complex systems, decomposing a product into its atomic constituents is highly impractical . To this end, the granularity of the system decomposition should be fine enough to differentiate viewpoints of various perspectives (e.g., assembly and maintenance), yet not too fine to be impractical . Minimizing the differences between the decompositions by reflecting the various stakeholder perspectives would ensure the robustness of the given system architecture.…”

In this study, a new system assessment metric is proposed to evaluate the robustness of system architectures to different stakeholder perspectives and decomposition preferences. Typically, the decomposition of a system architecture into a modular configuration is based on the function‐based perspective of the design teams, which can be different from the perspectives of other stakeholders such as the manufacturing teams and field service organization. In this paper, a system architecture is decomposed into different modular configurations on the basis of the preferred perspectives of various stakeholders. The generated configurations are then compared to function‐based modular configurations in terms of the diffusion of the original function‐based module components into modules generated from different perspectives. The degree of diffusion is measured using a newly proposed entropy based metric referred to as the module diffusion index. The proposed metric provides stakeholders with a quantifiable measure of the robustness of a particular system architecture with respect to the preferred decomposition strategy of different stakeholders. The proposed metric can be used to assess different system architectures in terms of their robustness to perspective‐based decompositions. A case study is conducted wherein different mechanical clock architectures are assessed in terms of the robustness to different perspective‐based decompositions to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed metric.

In: Proceedings of the ASME 2016 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences & Computers and Information in Engineering Permanent link to this version:http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-31567 A PLATFORM MODEL FOR SUPPLIERS OF CUSTOMIZED SYSTEMS -CREATING AN ABILITY TO MASTER FLUCTUATING REQUIREMENTS ABSTRACTCompanies developing highly customized products within the supplier industry are continuously faced with fluctuating requirements during both the quotation process and continued development. This research proposes a platform approach to aid suppliers when modularity or platform scalability do not suffice. The platform approach, Design Platform, focuses on descriptions that not only contain information about tangible components and systems but also information, knowledge and methods supporting the actual design of the product. A support system called Design Platform Manager has been developed to aid in using the platform approach and is introduced at a supplier active in the automotive industry. The system enables creation of generic product items that can be structured and instantiated to become product variants as well as Design Elements that are blocks of knowledge that describe a design or supports the activity of designing. A first evaluation is made that overall shows good result according to the company representatives.
