Concepts for modularization
Modularization is the key to efficient production. Individual components of a product with defined characteristics are assembled to a larger, complex product. This applies to systems and machines just as it does to software or complex medical equipment.Modularization unlocks the possibility to develop the product further in a concerted manner or purchase components from other suppliers. This principle can also be used for the cost-effective preparation and management of your documentation. In doing so, modules can have various sizes, from a chapter to a paragraph.
Our procedure:
- We obtain an overview of the information to be conveyed.
- We develop modularization potential on the various levels, from the document level up to the level of concrete information (instructions for action, warnings).
- We define the module functionally according to its purpose in the documentation.
- We collect information as modules and compile them as a sample document.
- We agree on the modularization concept with you using the sample document.
- We reproduce the modularization concept in your editorial environment so that the modules can be used efficiently for future projects.
Advantages for you:
- Use of industrialization principles for your documentation
- Reduction in expenses for new preparation and management of the documentation
- Decreased translation costs
- Shorter lead times
- Higher quality of the documentation due to a higher ratio of quality-assured, reutilized information
