A Product Architecture is a System of Modular Systems

Описание: A modular system is a collection of building blocks that can be configured in different ways, adapting to different customer needs. Over time, some modules will be developed to serve new purposes or to improve performance in some aspects. Optimization and cost-cutting can be done within modules without the typical ripple effect throughout the product and, when done well, without reducing the value to customers. Many companies use modularization as a tool to reduce product complexity or to make the customer order process more efficient by configuring-to-order rather than engineering-to-order.
