Modular design, or "modularity in design", is an approach that subdivides a system into smaller
parts called modules or skids that can be independently created and then used in different
systems.

Shorter learning time
Flexibility in design (assembled into a variety of

plugging in a new module), and exclusion
The beauty of modular architecture is that you can replace or add any one component (module) without
affecting the rest of the system.
