Manufacturing companies are operating in a turbulent business ecosystem that demands for product variety, product mix flexibility, volume scalability and high efficiency. Personalized production arises as new production paradigm to replace mass personalization and changeable matrix production systems are well suitable to cope with the challenges of this new production paradigm. In this paper, a method to design the value-add process modules of a matrix production systems is presented. The method is based on Axiomatic Design. The approach works process oriented, pursues a modular layout, and a flexible material flow in the production system. The paper concludes with a validation of the method performed in an industrial use case.
