摘要基于平台的产品开发是满足广泛客户偏好的一种经济高效的方法。一个重要的问题是产品平台配置，其中广泛使用两种类型的平台配置，即模块选择和模块集成。基于模块选择的平台配置为平台选择提供了更广阔的解决空间，而模块集成则有利于产品平台的共性，从而获得经济效益。到目前为止，大多数研究都集中在基于给定模块集的模块选择的平台配置上。本文提出了一个新的模型来确定外部产品族的最优平台配置，该模型同时考虑了模块选择和集成。外部产品系列的需求是不确定的，并假设服从正态分布。提出了一种模拟退火法和变邻域搜索相结合的混合算法。为了评估的目的，进行了数值检验。结果表明，该模型可以提供一个实用的较好的解决方案。本研究的主要贡献有两个方面，一是平台配置中模块选择和模块集成的平衡点，二是将模块采购的运行成本考虑到平台配置问题中。
ABSTRACT Platform-based product development is a cost-efficient approach to satisfy wide range of customer preferences. One important problem is the product platform configuration, in which two types of platform configuration are widely used, either module selection or module integration. The platform configuration based on module selection provides a broader solution space of platform selection, while module integration facilitates product platform commonality to gain economic benefits. Up to date, most research focused on the platform configuration based on module selection with a given module set. In this paper, we propose a new model to determine the optimal platform configuration for an external product family, considering both module selection and integration. The demand for the external product family is uncertain and assumed to follow normal distribution. A hybrid methodology combining simulated annealing and variable neighbourhood search is proposed. A numerical examination is carried out for the purpose of evaluation. The results show that the proposed model can provide a practically good solution. Main contributions of this research are two folds, one is the balance point between module selection and module integration in the platform configuration and the other is that we take into account the operation cost of module acquisition to the platform configuration problem.
