Development of the Modularity Measure for Assembly Process Structures

Table 4

Assessment of the modularity indicators according to the four evaluation criteria.

Process structure modularity indicators	Evaluation criteria (EC)
	EC1: applicability for all the MAP types	EC2: ability to differ between better and worse degrees of modularity of MAPs	EC3: ability to recognize small modularity changes in between two or more MAPs with the proper tendency	EC4: simplicity of calculation
