Companies We Have Helped Transform
Advancing Modularity for Next‑Generation Performance
A global electrical infrastructure company had used modular products for over a decade but faced rising complexity, unclear governance, and limited transparency on the cost of variety. To prepare for its next‑generation product platform, the company partnered with Modular Management to strengthen its modularity foundations.
The Challenge
The organization needed clearer KPIs, better global platform management, and a structured view of complexity costs to guide decisions for future modular development.
The Solution
Modular Management conducted a focused pre‑study to:
- Build a complexity cost model
- Define modularity KPIs and program targets
- Develop a clear program plan with workstreams, investments, and payback expectations
Outcomes
A functioning complexity cost model
Aligned modular program targets
A validated and actionable program plan
Enabling Scalable Configurability Across the Value Chain
A global electrical equipment manufacturer faced long quotation and delivery processes, fragmented product data, and growing complexity as customer requirements increased. To scale with a rapidly expanding market, the company needed a unified way to structure products and manage configurability across the entire value chain.
The Challenge
Disjointed product structures and inconsistent data flows between sales, engineering, and manufacturing made it difficult to offer the right variety efficiently.
The Solution
Modular Management and the client worked together to establish:
- A market‑driven modular architecture improving product structuring and reuse
- A unified configuration model supporting sales, engineering, and supply chain
- End‑to‑end product data management across PLM, ERP, and CPQ
- New governance and ways of working to ensure consistency across global teams
Outcomes
Improved understanding of customer buying criteria and their link to product decisions
A consistent, end‑to‑end product data model across departments
Stronger foundation for design automation and configurability across systems
Clearer alignment between business strategy and product architecture
