In the field of Design Methodology, researchers at the PKT develop new methods providing applicable support for the development of product structures and regarding the challenges resulting from product variety.

The Workshop on Modularization Methods provides the fundamental knowledge about principles and possible advantages of a modular product structure. Several methods are presented, which support the engineer in identifying flaw and actions of improvements. The methods of modularization are presented through industrial showcases and trained in smaller work groups on the basis of case studies.
