当今生产的工业产品的结构尺寸范围正在日益扩大。这一趋势在最低端和最高端都很明显。例如，半导体工业中器件的小型化和风力涡轮机转子直径的增加。虽然已经存在对较小规模的设备结构(如纳米技术)的定义，但目前对常规大产品和大规模产品之间的概念区别还不够。在这项研究中，我们为大规模产品的定义提供了一个潜在的基础。为了实现这一点，我们首先推导出假设，并在实证研究的背景下，使用螺纹螺母、螺旋压力机和客机的例子来检验这些假设。研究表明，从传统产品向大规模产品过渡的特点是，由于产品特征的增强，产品成本不成比例地增加。基于所描述的研究结果，我们提出了一个描述大规模产品的定义，该定义是基于人类在产品创造过程中利用观察时可用的方法和工具遇到技术、组织和经济限制的基础上提出的。
The range of structure sizes for industrial products produced today is increasingly expanding. This trend is evident both at the bottom end of the scale as well as the top end. Examples include the ever-smaller miniaturization of devices in the semiconductor industry and the increase in rotor diameter of wind turbines. While definitions already exist for smaller scale device structures e.g. nanotechnology, the conceptual distinction between conventional large products and large scale products is currently insufficient. In this study, we present a potential basis for the definition of large scale products. To achieve this, we first of all derive hypotheses and examine these in the context of an empirical study using the examples of threaded nuts, screw presses and passenger aircraft. The study shows that the transition from conventional products to large scale products is characterized by a disproportionate increase in product costs due to the augmentation of a characteristic product feature. Based on the findings described, we then derive a proposed definition which characterizes large scale products on the basis that man encounters his technical, organizational and economic limits with the methods and tools available at the time of observation, in the context of product creation.
