| contents | Modular product architectures are used to enhance flexibility, reduce production complexity, and support sustainability goals. However, traditional Modular Function Deployment (MFD) method does not fully integrate Design for Assembly (DFA) and Design for Disassembly (DFD) principles, leading to sub-optimal manufacturability and end-of-life strategies. This study introduces an expanded MFD method incorporating assembly and disassembly considerations into early-stage modularisation. A workshop-based evaluation assesses usability and applicability, involving participants using standard and expanded MFD. Results indicate that integrating DFA and DFD enhances assembly efficiency, ease of disassembly, and modular product strategy alignment. However, usability challenges were identified, necessitating refinements for industry application. |
