Jesper Thyssen

Jesper Thyssen is a Part-time Lecturer in the Department of Materials and Production at the Faculty of Engineering and Science, Aalborg University, Denmark. His academic work focuses on modularity, product development, and production systems, contributing to both theoretical and practical aspects of manufacturing efficiency and design.

His research interests lie primarily in modularity, product family development, assembly systems, and economic modeling in production. He explores how modular design impacts manufacturing flexibility, cost structures, and platform-based innovation. His work bridges engineering design and operational economics, particularly through methods like activity-based costing.

The trend in his publications from 2000 to 2012 shows a consistent focus on the economic and technical implications of modularization in manufacturing. His articles highlight case studies and conceptual frameworks for assessing modularity benefits, integrating cost analysis with product architecture decisions, and enabling flexible production systems.
