Abstract
Productiveness is an issue when it comes to manufacturing. This paper discusses the advantages of using a system architecture approach within the context of product design and development. It shows how the philosophy behind the theory of systems architecting can induce lower costs and shorter schedules, without affecting the specification of the product under development. This also leads to the concept of product families.
