• Resumen

  • The production of customized products yields an increase in variants. The consequences are high costs, long order-processing times arid development risks. The modular construction method decreases the variety of assemblies and components while still remaining customized. The following paper describes a program system for the computer-aided development of structures for modular systems. The efficiency of the program is demonstrated by an example.
