Toward a Product System Modularity Construct: Literature Review and Reconceptualization
TL;DR: The paper constitutively defines product modularity in terms of component separability and component combinability, and an indirect operational definition is then proposed by operationalizing component separable and component Combinability.

Product modularity: measures and design methods
TL;DR: An overview of existing research on measures of product modularity and methods to achieve modularity in product design shows no clear consensus beyond those found in the definition of modularity, and there is a lack of quantitative comparison among the various measures and methods.

Planning for Product Platforms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a platform-planning process that involves two key tasks: product planning and product attribute selection, and system level designers decide what product architecture to use to deliver the different products while sharing parts and production steps across the products.
