Commonality and Product Design
… of successive product generations. Modularity/commonality has emerged as a powerful option in product design to provide customers with a variety of products at reduced costs. While traditional research has mainly focused on cost side effects of commonality, this dissertation provides a novel …

Two essays in commonality
In the first part of this thesis we consider a manufacturer that introduces successive generations of products, possibly on multiple similar production lines. We consider two types of production phase for this firm; pilot production phase and full production phase. Pilot production phase for a …

Commonality in Two-Dimensions: An Empirical Investigation
… and use reduced-rank regression to model the commonality in Chapter Two. The literature on the study of return commonality generally attributes its source to the order flow. But I find that return and order flows are endogenous and use the new exogenous Twitter sentiment dataset to show that …

Commonality of ground systems in launch operations
… the utility of requiring a certain degree of commonality in both flight and ground systems in the Constellation Program. While the benefits of commonality seem obvious in terms of minimizing upfront development and long-term operations and maintenance costs, success in real, large-scale …

Commonality analysis for exploration life support systems
Commonality, defined practically as the use of similar technologies to deliver similar functions across a range of different complex systems, offers opportunities to improve the lifecycle costs of portfolios of complex systems. In this thesis, a proposed methodology for commonality analysis is …

Application and management of commonality within NASA systems
Commonality can be defined as the sharing of assets such as components, designs, processes, technologies, interfaces, and/or infrastructure across systems. Through commonality, NASA has the opportunity to develop, produce, and operate systems more efficiently, thus reducing their life cycle costs. …

Improving enterprise decision-making : the benefits of metric commonality
… systems, and frameworks; the concept of commonality; and designing across a life cycle is assessed and helps generate a new concept of commonalizing metrics across an operating life cycle to address this issue. It is hypothesized that despite the uniqueness of each external stakeholder, …

Improving commonality implementation in the cockpits of commercial aircraft
… aircraft business. Judiciously implementing commonality across a range of products yields important benefits in this area. Thus, measuring the quality of commonality implementation is extremely beneficial for aircraft manufacturers. This thesis analyses the concept of commonality and divides …

The effects of part commonality on product development lead time
… in the transformed network. The effect of part commonality on product development lead times are investigated at four levels of integration: common part (ASIC), common assembly (circuit pack), common field replaceable unit (module) and finally the common platform (BTS). At increasing levels of …

Acquisition strategies for commonality across complex aerospace systems-of-systems
Commonality is a system architecting strategy widely used to improve affordability and reliability of families of products. However not all commonality is beneficial, and organizations must balance commonality benefits and commonality costs to pursue a successful strategy. The existing literature …

Platform project management : optimizing product development by actively managing commonality
… development is not a trivial task. Product commonality usually decreases over time, a phenomenon called divergence, usually present in the development of complex products like automobiles. Furthermore, all the products from the product family will be designed in a product development …

Commonality in complex product families : implications of divergence and lifecycle offsets
Commonality, or the sharing of components, processes, technologies, interfaces and/or infrastructure across a product family, represents one of many potential tools for increasing corporate profitability. Industrial interest in commonality is strong, but results appear to be mixed. A rich stream of …
