  2. 1. Product Platform Development. Managerial Issues in Manufacturing Firms

    Author : Niklas Sundgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; product platform development; platform characteristics; platform project; platform concept; managerial issues;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with product platform development - the development of a set of subsystems and interfaces that form a common structure from which a stream of derivative products can be efficiently developed and produced. A platform approach to product development can reduce lead time and product cost throughout a firm's internal value chain by reaping benefits from economies of scale. READ MORE
