Résumé
Modularity is perceived as an interesting solution to manage products and manufacturing complexity. Indeed, it allows for great variety while promoting product flexibility and respecting the environment. This concept has been already introduced, albeit imperfectly, in the automotive industry due to the strong interdependence of subsystems. As a result, several researchers have proposed definitions tailored to their fields of interest. Consequently, the design of a module can vary depending on designers and manufacturers, making modularity metrics applicable only in specific cases. In this context, we propose a new methodology to measure manufacturing modularity by introducing the notion of module aggregation levels, a key element of this approach. Our starting point is the use of metrics found in literature, which have been tested. As these results do not meet industrial standards and expectations, we developed an index that captures several modularity criteria in a second step. Thirdly, fictitious assembly process structures were created and then ranked by experts from industry and by the developed index according to the obtained values. Finally, the correlation between the two (2) rankings was studied. Applied to our case studies, good correlations were obtained; 97.3% and 90% respectively for our simple and complex use cases with the experts' rankings.
