Abstract

In product configuration of mass customization, the structure of product family is one of the key factors which affecting the efficiency of configuration. Applying complex network theory and algorithm to mass customization field, a structure network of product family is constructed. The evolving rule of used number of class module variation with the number of product is obtained. The instantiation module number contained by a class module variation with the number of product is obtained. The evolving rule of used number of instantiation module variation with the number of product is obtained. A structural rationalization method of product family is presented. As an example, all methods are applied to a steam turbine product family, and the methods are verified.
