Product line architecture

Product Line Architecture (2 days)

Industry organizations and manufacturers of complex products and services now face fragmented markets where each segment is characterized by fierce competition and a high degree of specificity required by customers and end-users. There is therefore a real competitive advantage to be able to offer to end-users, and at controlled cost, products that suit their needs.

Our training answers this industrial challenge: how to make custom products at controlled costs and risks? You learn how to maximize the reusability of existing components, while mastering the diversity of a family / product line, leading to flexible and modular architectures.

Training objectives:

At the end of the training, you will be able to:

  • Understand the stakes, issues, challenges and foundations of modular architecture;
  • Implement, concretely, an operational, functional & constructional architecture approach in the context of a family or a product line;
  • Know the strategic, managerial, organizational and financial impacts of setting up a family policy or product line.

Who should attend? Engineers, project managers, managers or directors, and/or you are involved in the design or management of product systems or complex projects.

Prerequisite: Have at least 3 years of experience in the field of design and management of complex industrial systems and know the fundamentals of system architecture

Methods used & agenda: We dedicate a large part of our modules to conversing and practice to facilitate learning. During these 2 days you will immediately put into practice the architectural processes and tools on a simple industrial system, collectively chosen
