“…A very important point at the beginning of a modularization project is abstraction decomposition to a suitable level independent of the prevailing product structure, e.g. from the bill of materials [1]. The MIG strongly supports this level of decomposition (Fig.…”

“…After improving the product family structure and design using the methodical unit "Design for Variety", a before-andafter comparison can be visualized by using MIGs (Fig. 11) and the Variety Allocation Model (VAM) [1]. The new concept enables the standardization of many componentsshown in the MIG by their white color.…”

“…This paper presents an overview of the integrated PKTApproach for developing modular product families developed in recent years, starting with an introduction of the four underlying attributes which make the approach unique [1]. One of the core visualizations used in the approach -the Module Interface Graph (MIG) -is explained in detail.…”

To offer individualized products at globally marketable prices, the Integrated PKT-Approach for Developing Modular Product Families aims to generate high external product variety based on a low internal process and component variety. Specific visualizations are an important factor in the success of this approach. In this paper the Module Interface Graph (MIG) developed at the Institute for Product Development and Mechanical Engineering Design (PKT) is used to show how specific visualization concepts of a product family can help present important information, as well as define module interfaces and boundaries during the modularization of a product family. Two brief industrial case studies are presented to give insight into using the MIG and emphasize potential improvements to visual product representations for developing modular product families in a team.

Preserving the mobility of elderly people is becoming increasingly important, as other factors of quality of life, such as autonomy or participation in social life, are connected with mobility. Starting from an analysis of elderly people as users, combined with the analysis of mobility and mobility situations, a catalog of functions is presented in this paper, which provides the basis for a methods platform to develop user adapted modular mobility-supporting systems.
