Continuous optimization of industrial processes has been a constant pursuit since the Industrial Revolution in the 19th and 20th centuries, intensifying even more in the 21st century. Companies strive to efficiently maximize their material and human resources to enhance their performance, becoming an imperative necessity for those aiming not only to survive but to thrive in a dynamic and challenging business environment. The concept of modularization emerges as an efficient method for organizing complex products and processes. This approach involves breaking down intricate tasks into simpler components, allowing independent management of each part while enabling their integrated operation as a cohesive whole. This work aims to present a theoretical framework and analysis of the concepts of modularization, modularity, modular, and module, as well as the application of modularization for the manufacture of screw conveyors. Following discussions with industry professionals, literature review, and analysis of a case study, the proposal for modularizing grain screw conveyors was developed, taking into account the client's requirements and feasible technical solutions. It was concluded that modularity grants designers control over how variations in processes or requirements can influence the product, minimizing the number of processes for product production and increasing flexibility in product development.
