ZingURbiz is the champion of Modular5 in Asia. 

Modular5 helps companies in markets with low production volumes and high product complexity and variety optimise - LV/HC-markets - their product design and operations. 

The challenge for organisations in the LV/HC-markets is that clients are deeply involved in the design, development and production of the product they ordered. 
The customer's drive to optimise their product to their processes and needs has a profound effect on the manufacturer's business. 

1) Each product is special
2) The supply chain and manufacturing departments cannot put buffer stocks in place 
3) there is no learning effect driving costs down and quality up

Modular5 developed a framework for companies in the LV/HC-market to standardise their products while the customers can configure their product fit their needs.

The framework has five phases

Modular Product Design

The winning portfolio in LV/HC markets is a modular. The market requirements are covered by the modules, in different configurations. 

The modules are standardised, allowing the manufacturing chain to leverage learning to improve quality and reduce lead time and cost. 

Clients configure their product based on the functionality that they need. 

The standard modules enable a structured and controlled implementation of new technology delivered by R&D and functionality required by product management. 

Establishing winning portfolio requires knowledge to find the sweet spot to unlock the potential of sales, research and development, engineering, and production. 

Modular Sales

After the product portfolio is established, a sales configurator is set up to support the sales managers.

Next to the technical information, the sales navigator contains reliable information about pricing, compatibility and delivery times. The sales process operates with less support from product management, engineering, and production. 

The sales manager explores the requirements of their prospect client deeply while configuring their product.

Smart Customization

At the start of a project, the engineering department releases the information of the standard modules to the manufacturing chain. 

The early release of the available information, clears the department to focus on designing the customizations that the client ordered. 

Using a structured freeze and release process, the designs of the standard modules are continuously maintained to remove errors, enhanced to support manufacturing and updated to improve functionality.

Modular Operations

Continuous improvement, applied in the right way, improves the result of any company, whether a modular company or not. 

In the Modular5 framework, the modular operations phase is the multiplier of the results from the previous phases. 
The suppliers and the production department can optimise their processes, tools, and methods for the standardised modules.

Modular Services

Services departments face a tremendous challenge when every product in the field is different. A service call takes multiple visits from technicians to resolve. 

The service technicians can bring the correct spart parts and tools to maintain and repair the clients assets during one visit. 

Faster and effective service leads to higher customer satisfaction. 

New, potential revenue streams are unlocked with the modular product set-up. Offerings like mid-life upgrades, trade-in, a pay-per-use business models, and premium service contracts are open for your company to explore.
