Analysis and Improvement of Product Modularization Methods - Their ability to deal with complex products

TL;DR: The results of the analysis show that the modularization methods are useful for products with simple product architecture, but concerning higher degrees of product complexity, several functions allocated to several physical modules, or large physical variation of the variants, the methods seem insufficient.
