As companies seek to mitigate against disruptions, they often reduce interactive complexity (i.e., product, production and interconnection complexities) by using common, standard and modular products and processes, all of which are also embraced in post- ponement to delay the point at which product variations assume their unique identities. For example, the development of a modular product structure implies manufacturing a variety of end products on the basis of only few, generic modules or platforms. In the modular product architecture, components are interchangeable, loosely coupled and upgradeable, and interfaces are standardised. Therefore, they can be developed and optimised independently, thereby deceasing greatly the overall inter-dependence among components and cutting down on the coordination costs. Developing the ability to shift business operations elsewhere when a disruption occurs often involves using interchangeable and generic parts in many products, and standard business operations (Martha and Subbakrishna 2002, Lee and Wolfe 2003). Interconnection complexity can also be dealt with through the use of modularity in organisation which allows companies to break their hierarchies down into components that can be fluidly recombined in a variety of configurations in response to unexpected events. Extending to a supply chain, modularity also permits substitution of different versions of functional components (e.g., specialised companies) to be fluidly recombined in a variety of supply chain configurations to quickly adapt to changing environments (Voordijk et al. 2006).
