ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT It is frequently discussed that product variety impacts manufacturing complexity, and in this context the assessment of variety-induced complexity is becoming a topical problem. Then, there is an implicit need for configuration complexity management methods to support managers in taking proper decisions. The main scope of this chapter is a description of the combinatorial-based method to quantify product configurations and
