'''[https://modularmanagement.com/mfd/ Modular Function Deployment''' (MFD)]''' is a method invented by [https://modularmanagement.com/ Modular Management] company to create product architectures.

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 [https://www.lego.com [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. A modular product architecture can enable [[mass customization]], where customers configure and order personalized - rather than ready-made - products and services.

==Five Steps==

MFD consists of five steps:

1. #Clarify Customer Needs

2. #Identify Functions and Solutions

3. #Propose Modules and Interfaces

4. #Define Variants and Configurations

5. #Confirm Architecture Feasibility
