During the last decades, the product life cycle in the automotive industry decreased from 10 to 6 years or even less. At the same time the demand for individualized and configurable cars has increased. This has led to new challenges in product development and production planning. One key factor in order to gain important time and cost potentials in the different project phases is a standardised production. Due to an increasing customer-individualisation, the growing complexity of the production systems and the even faster changing business environment, the automotive industry is facing a new kind of challenges. The standardisation and modularisation of production systems is getting more and more important. In this contribution a novel approach was presented how the product developer can be supported in order to realise a modularised production system. The presented method generally differs from the common validation processes. The early consideration of requirements and restrictions coming from the production modules avoids production-related problems and ensures the advantages of standardised production. Finally the results were demonstrated with the help of a body-in-white welding cell.
