Case example of complexity
| Dimension | Low complexity score | High complexity score |
|---|---|---|
| Data dependency | Standard pump casing with known material specs and history available in ERP | Customized motor with missing lifecycle data and unclear usage history |
| Assessment effort | Visual inspection sufficient (e.g. external housing) | Requires disassembly and testing (e.g. internal motor components) |
| Reuse risk | Non-critical structural part with low failure impact | Safety-critical component where failure affects system performance |
| Integration barriers | Standardized interface component compatible across variants | Component requiring adaptation due to design changes or tolerances |
| Knowledge codification | Evaluation criteria documented and transferable | Requires expert tacit knowledge from experienced engineers |
