Abstract: Abstract Automotive Aftermarket business requires individual solutions for the end customer and the full range of products for relevant cars worldwide. This chapter describes the experience in implementation of a concept named Modular Standard at thyssenkrupp BILSTEIN to fulfill these requirements. The two approaches of the concept are described. One is a component toolbox for shock-absorber internal parts. Second is the utilization of platforms for car-specific parts. The combination of both supports customization based on reduction of design complexity.
