Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe a methodology for structuring products in a globalization-compatible way on the basis of technological core competence analysis. This enables a precise identification of core components, in order to connect the know-how intensive and market-relevant components with the technological core competence. The key methodological characteristic is an exact analysis of the product structure with the objective of variant management and competence management. Therefore methods of analyzing product structures in order to classify core competences and to identify the necessity of product changes based on variant and competence aspects are discussed.
