Using product platform architecture for identification of part commonality in support of design for modularity

Modular approach is one of the best design techniques as it promotes better and faster designing process. Due to functional independence and physical similarities, it tends to drive platform development. This paper will discuss the application of modularity approach to drive for platform design f...
