With the rapid development of science and technology, modern design has become increasingly complex, with the factors needed to be considered more various, find the optimal solution to solve problems, which is the real meaning of product design. In this paper, by analyzing the domestic and foreign research present situation of the modern theory of the modular design, according to the characteristics of complex product system, it will be introduced to the concept design of complex product system modular design, proposed in view of the function of the turbine division method, based on CATIA software research and development of the system design of a turbine, that can effectively shorten the development time, reduce development costs, to lay a good foundation for its innovation, having great theoretical and practical significance for turbine technology development.

Information Assimilation

There has been a modularization trend in manufacturing industry since 1990s. Modular network is a simpler and more effective way to form complex product system. The information processing in modular network includes information assimilation and information encapsulation. The competitive advantages of modular network lie in Network Externality, back-to-back competition, innovation and anti-risk abilities. The emergence of modular network leads to the change of industrial organization. Adjustments should be made to enterprises’ competition strategies.

This paper examines the evolution of the cellular mobile communications system which is treated as an example of a Complex Product System (CoPS). It distinguishes between architectural, component and systemic innovations in order to isolate different phases of innovation in the birth, growth and transformation of the cellular systems and other CoPS. An architectural phase in the birth and early development of a CoPS is powerfully influenced by regulators, system suppliers, standard-making bodies and large users. In this phase, emphasis is placed on developing and testing new system architectures prior to commercialisation. In a new product generation phase, the rate of component and systemic innovation increases and successive new product generations are introduced without fundamentally changing the established architectural design. Industries supplying CoPS are often relatively stable because suppliers have developed core capabilities to accommodate the periodic introduction of new product generations.

What can cause five postponements and a delay of two years in introducing a relatively simple ERP system that usually takes only a few months to be implemented? We find the answer to this puzzle by highlighting the context of use of this high technology IT capital good, an issue so far overlooked because the literature on complex product system (CoPS) focuses on the intrinsic dimensions of the product and the provider. We rely on an extensive case study of the ERP system Movex at the furniture manufacturer Edsbyn and on literature on user-related innovations, organisational studies and inter-firm relationships to extract a series of additional user-related complexity dimensions. These include the importance of the capital good for the user, the user's perception of its complexity and the strength and complexity of the routines to be changed at the using organisation. We conclude the paper with implications for complex systems providers.
