The new methodology and process should assist the task to define functional borders and robust physical interfaces between the modules, to deal with the increased technical complexity.A variety of industrial cases of heavy-duty truck subsystems are used to describe the proposed methodology and to verify its performance, i.e. how well the proposed methodology and process supports the Systems Engineering process.The research concludes that the proposed modularization methodology and process(named Integrated Modularization) is capable of supporting the Systems Engineering process by improving the quality of the module identification stage, by adding business strategies and physical interference to product architecture clustering. Furthermore, the newly developed architectural representations showed to make architectural discussions in general and modularity discussion in particular with and between domain experts efficient.
