Integral Product Architectures Functional elements are implemented by multiple chunks,or a chunk may implement many functions. Interactions between chunks are poorly defined. Integral architecture generally increases performance and reduces costs for any specific product model. OLYMPUS ooStylus 200M140 High-Performance Wheels Compact Camera

Choosing the Product Architecture Architecture decisions relate to product planning and concept development decisions: Product Change (copier toner,camera lenses) Product Variety (computers,automobiles) Standardization (motors,bearings,fasteners) Performance (racing bikes,fighter planes) Manufacturing Cost(disk drives,razors) Project Management (team capacity,skills) System Engineering (decomposition,integration)
