For example, in the case of a car, the wheel rims, the engine and the navigation system can be offered as separate modules, which the customer can combine according to his wishes.<\/p>\n<p>Another possibility is <strong>standardisation<\/strong>, which tries to standardise as many product components as possible in order to reduce complexity. For example, in the case of a smartphone, most components such as the processor, display or battery can be the same for all models and only vary in a few features. This minimises the complexity of the products already in the planning phase.
