FEV Powertrain Modularization Strategies

FEV Consulting offers a four step approach to create a common understanding of modularity principles, develop a sustainable toolkit and support the implementation.

I. Customized study

As a stand-alone service, FEV Consulting will prepare a customized study on general modularity principles, competitor benchmarks and best practices.

II.-IV. Customer specific analysis

The toolkit development phase is based on a detailed analysis of individual boundary conditions, limitations and the cost structure. The initial analysis is key for the modular toolkit concept definition and derivation of an individual modularization strategy. To ensure a sustainable variance handling after implementation, FEV Consulting offers a set of dedicated tools and processes.
