Abstract

Modules and modularity have been popular concepts in operations research instead of products used in Malaysia. In the latest development, Modularity is very important in product design of manufacturing considerations for efficient assembly and complexity to make it better and fasten the process and products. The paper present is a study on overview of modularity products and manufacturing practices in Malaysia such as Traditional Malay House, fordable chair and maintaining services. The process of modularization makes the functional independence as the goal of good design. For the best marketing and end user, industry using modularization process or products leads to creation of product families and uniformity. To make the process of modularity successful, the industry has to ensure that modularity should maintain independence between components and processes in different modules and interchangeability between modules. This paper discusses the modules and modularity which are applied among the manufacturing in the Malaysia in the context of physical products and services.

Highlights

  • In the Malaysian market, most of the consumer products have methods of operation that are similar to function, such as a electric motor to rotate the blade of a blender, extractor and beater of a mixer but not surprisingly, initially they are designed distinctly different from the others products

  • This study has successfully demonstrated the relationship between manufacturing and modularity product or process

  • The process of modularity in construction will enhance the scale of constructability in the construction industry

Summary

Introduction

In the Malaysian market, most of the consumer products have methods of operation that are similar to function, such as a electric motor to rotate the blade of a blender, extractor and beater of a mixer but not surprisingly, initially they are designed distinctly different from the others products. The maintainability of a domestic product such as an electric coffee maker was applied to designing modularity which can identify its functional components and. Modularization is known as an engineering approach to simplifying component or product configuration as functional independence demands. This loose interaction characteristic makes the maintenance process easier, especially in term of maintenance time in an example of rear motorcycle brake system. Traditional Malay House basically can be divided into several modular, identified spaces and components. The usage of modular coordination concept in Industrialized Building System (IBS) can be applied to the design process, manufacture and assembly of components, building components and installations, and it affects the twin factors of position and dimension [14]. Modular coordination can be applied to a wide range of contraction technologies, ranging from component building through partial prefabrication to rationalized traditional building methods
