In this contribution we would like to present a methodology for testing and evaluating product spectra and individual products from the focus on design and development. Especially in complex and individualized mechatronical products the price and the delivery time are just excitement or performance attributes, whereas basic requirements, e. g. quality or function still have to be guaranteed imperatively. Since the mutual dependencies in an adaptable product spectrum represent a very complex network, individualization by customers leads to far reaching modifications in the product structure. Concerning a short delivery time, a methodology of early evaluation has been adapted.     «
