Effects of demand, manufacturing flexibility, cost and supply chain on product modularity: a study in Malaysia

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of customer demand, manufacturing flexibility, cost, and supply chain on product modularity. This study employed a cross-sectional design and a proportionate random sampling procedure was used to select 150 manufacturers from a list of 250 ma...
