Engine Parts Called 'Modules'
Engine parts such as cylinder heads and crankcases are often referred to as 'modules.' As simplistic as the term might sound, the production of these modules implies a great degree of model-specific investment for the necessary dies, jigs, and mechanical equipment. Moreover, there is a considerable span of time, once product development has begun, until actual production is launched, during which the manufacturer is subject to losses stemming from unforeseen problems. In this way, the production of modular parts is similar to that of body assemblies.
Honda has since its establishment endeavored to implement the optimal production systems for all these parts. In keeping with the company's desire to meet the changing needs of an increasingly advanced society, sophisticated processing technologies, line systems, and mechanical devices have helped make that possible.
