Abstract

Aeronautics, electronics, and computer hardware industries have successfully employed Component-Based Development (CBD) methodologies for setting up globally distributed design and production activities. CB architectures have enabled the firms to increase the rate of reused components and sub-assemblies, and to speed up the design and production process of new products. CBD will improve software development practices by allowing each site to assume ownership of particular components, resulting in reduced inter-site communication and coordination. Firms that attempt to improve product variation and through CBD methodologies also need to consider introducing higher flexibility in their coordination and communication processes. Firms that follow agility in design methodologies in their software development processes may also consider building greater flexibility in their products by implementing CBD methodologies, thereby achieving agility in both software development and products.
