Abstract
Modularization proves to be a chance for increasing the use productivity of resources by enabling multiple usage phases sometimes even in different applications. A module configuration software tool has been developed for finding an appropriate modular product structure considering life cycle criteria. A mathematical model has been implemented to solve this multi-criterion optimization task. The application of the software tool is presented in a case study. The vision of developing and producing modular products in sustainable value creation networks is introduced.
