'''Modular Function Deployment''' (MFD) is a method for creating modular product architectures, based on research performed at [[KTH Royal Institute of Technology]] in the 1990s.<ref>Gunnar Erixon: "Modular Function Deployment – A Method for Product Modularisation", Ph.D. Thesis [http://swepub.kb.se/bib/swepub:oai:DiVA.org:kth-2619?tab2=abs&language=en], The Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, 1998. TRITA-MSM R-98-1, ISSN 1104-2141, ISRN KTH/MSM/R-98/1-SE.</ref> As a result of said research, the company [https://www.modularmanagement.com/ Modular Management] was registered in 1996, offering consultancy services centered on the MFD method.<ref>{{Cite web|title=About - Modular Management|url=https://www.modularmanagement.com/about|access-date=2021-02-16|website=www.modularmanagement.com|language=en}}</ref>
With a modular product architecture, companies can offer a wide range of products and services without increasing complexity, since modules and module variants, like blocks of [[LEGO]], can be configured in many different ways. The MFD method ensures that each module has functional, strategic and customer-centric value and can be combined with other modules through standardized interfaces.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|
