In mass customization the product platform is the power method to improve the reused ability of existing design resource. But to the high degree modularity product, the module limits the
3、commonality of product platform. The flexible product platform solves the conflict of modularitys variety and commonality. The platform parameters denote the common properties of prod- uct platform and different values of those parameters realize the flexible of product platform. Then the parameter-
4、independent modules can be combined into a physical product platform and extend to satisfy much more market seg- ments. The flexible product platform of CNC grinder improves the reutilization and guides the designer promptly to develop the individual CNC grinder for personal customer needs. Keywords

Based on the publics growi

Mass customization is optimized to build a wide range of products at the lowest pos- sible cost and deliver them quickly. It requires that companies design products from the point o
7、f commonality, compatibility, standardization, or modularization among different products or product lines 2. So product family and product platform are the bases of mass customization. Product family is defined as a group of related products that share common features, components, and subsystems; a

The product platform is defined as a set of subsystems and inter- faces that form a common structure from which a stream of related products can be developed and produced efficiently within a given product family 4. Hence the product platform has two characte
9、rs: modularity and standardization 5. Modularity embodies the flexible property and it means that diverse modules can build up into a serial of products to cater for different market segments. Standardiza- tion represents the stability and the product platform demands highly commonality of The Promp

From the view of mass customization, modularity realizes the customization and standardization implements mass production. In either case, platform com
11、ponents, systems or processes end up constraining the variants design: because of the re- quirement that a platform component or process is identical in all variants, customized components are necessarily designed to be compatible with the platform; indeed, the range of possible (or desirable) custo
12、mization in the entire product family is dictated by the platform 6. Then the degree of modularity is higher may result lower of the standardization for too many modules can implement so much variety and the rela- tions of modules become complex and influence the commonality of modules. So this pape

The main product characteristic is the core require- ments of customer which indicate basic attribute of produc

The flexible elements remain independence and can be combined together to improve the flexibil- ity of product and reused ability of modules. 2 Flexible Product Platform Design The goal of flexible product platform is to improve the adaptability of modules for different market niches. On
15、e of the main drivers for such strategy improvement arises from the general increase in the number of models to satisfy a wider range of cus- tomer markets which, in turn, is becoming more and more fragmented due to more demand for customization 7. So the flexible product platform applying the attri

The parameters are the characteristic of modules and the values of parame- ter satisfy different requirement of market niches. The process of flexible platform design starts with market and customer needs analysis, identific
