 1. Product change
=>Upgrade, Add-ons, Adaptation, Wear, Consumption,
Flexibility in use, Reuse

Implications 2. Product variety

 Function sharing
 Capabilities of vendors

Establishing  Similarity of design or production technology

 Accommodating variety
 Enabling standardization
 Portability of the interfaces

2. Commonality Plan
Planning
 1. Give an example of the modularity types. And the
explanation.

Questions 2. Take a product (not from the book) and give some product
performance characteristic of the product.

3. Why would there be a delayed differentiation?
