Abstract
Product platform has been proven a successful strategy in business practice, and platform architecture is crucial to platforming strategy. In this paper, some issues on platform architecture are firstly discussed and argued. Then an analysis tool termed as interfacing analysis matrix (IAM) is presented for the analysis of base platform architecture, with improvement of the existing analysis tools for architecture coupling. The base model of a cordless drill is finally applied to exemplify the significance of IAM.
