SolutionVariant configuration is a tool, which helps to simplify the complex manufacturing of final product with more varieties and the variation of input material. The manufacturer always has to offer new variants of its product. The customer determines the features of the product. A customer buying a car, for example, can choose the features of the car and combine these features as required. The product configuration improves information exchange between sales, engineering, and production. Variant configuration helps the customer or salesperson to put together specifications for the product and ensure that the product can be produced from these specifications. It also ensures that production costs do not overstep the mark.
