Abstract

This paper addresses the challenge of managing the complexity in product development and the supply chain in a company with highly customised products. This is done by proposing a tool to reduce the number of component variants used in the product portfolio by creating an overview and proposing possible replacement components. The study have been done in collaboration with a company producing district heating units.

Keywords: Component rationalisation, bottom-up, complexity reduction, product portfolio mapping, sharing matrix
