Product platform
The Product Platform Rulebook, Edition 01 September 2022, published by the Construction Innovation Hub, defines product platform (PP) as: ‘A kit of parts, associated production processes, and the knowledge, people and relationships required to deliver all or part of construction projects using a platform approach. A product platform provides a stable core which is configured and combined with complementary components (via defined interfaces) to suit a particular project. A product platform also includes the processes tools and equipment required for assembly.’
It suggests that Product Platform Definition refers to: 'Rules which define the boundaries of a particular product platform, developed using the Product Platform Rulebook and defining key drivers, objectives, requirements and architecture.'
