The advent of mass customization and increased manufacturing competition has necessitated that many companies offer platform-oriented multiple product variants. Various design strategies such as Design for Variety and product family design have become critical in this respect. This paper provides a two-step approach to tackle the modular product family design problem. The first step performs a multi-objective optimization using a multi-agent framework to determine the Pareto-design solutions for a given module set. The proposed multi-agent framework is new and has built in flexibility to handle various constraints such as module compatibility during the optimization process. The second step performs post-optimization analysis that includes a novel application of the quality loss function to determine the optimal platform level for a related set of product families and their variants. The proposed method is applied to a product family design example to demonstrate its validity and effectiveness.
