Rationale: Standardizing interface design (circlip/o-ring/spline/grooves/heat treat, etc.)
Reduction in the interface design / development work.
Reduction in VSA / Monte Carlo Studies
Reduction in DVP&R testing.
Reduction in 3D modeling work.
Reduction in prototype costs / lead time.
Reduction in production tooling / heat treat development.
Reduction in production pricing with sub-component commonality / economies of scale.
Parts more readily available to support dyno/vehicle testing.
Supplier product and manufacturing complexity reduction.
Reduction of warranty.
