Re-use, Standardization, and Classification system
Integrating a new component can create bottlenecks in product or equipment design. Furthermore, since the cost of managing a component can become very expensive, it is essential to promote the reuse of existing components and to introduce company standards. Ideally, up to 60-70% of components should be standardized and re-used to make efficient designs. Poor component management can lead to designers spending all their time looking for and testing components instead of innovating.
