This technical report was conducted at the department YMS - PDM & CAD (Product Data Management & Computer Aided Design) at Scania and at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. The report serves as a part delivery of a PhD project, within the area of modularization and product description, performed by the author.Scania is one of th...
The European Commission pointed out in 2015, with “An EU action plan for the Circular Economy”, the importance of energy and resource preservation, by respecting Earth’s resilience and renewability (European Commission, 2015). A transition towards Circular Economy is necessary in this sense to create new sustainable advantages, protecting businesse...
Long-term commonalities and experiences with modularization in comparable small- and medium-sized enterprises have been identified as a research gap. This article contributes by describing a unique collection of experiences from companies that received a similar introduction to the same core modularization topics through a series of introductory in...

Methods for evaluating the strength of design dependencies in a product architecture have been widely studied in the literature; however, evaluating the effects of direct and indirect interactions between components/modules remains a challenge. In fact, indirect connections between components/modules are often overlooked in many cases when evaluati...

Within manufacturing companies, the architectural description of how a product is built is typically well defined while the architecture of the product from a functional view describing how the functional requirements are met in the product is often less articulated. For products composed of many components (modular products) such descriptions are ...
