*In [[modular construction]], modules are a bundle of redundant project components that are produced en masse prior to installation.Building components are often arranged into modules in the industrialization of construction.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Industrialization of Construction-A Lean Modular Approach|url=https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1001049/FULLTEXT01.pdf|journal=Industrialization of Construction-A Lean Modular Approach}}</ref>
*In [[industrial design]], modularity refers to an engineering technique that builds larger systems by combining smaller subsystems.
*In manufacturing, modularity typically refers to [[modular design]], either as the use of exchangeable parts or options in the fabrication of an object or the design and manufacture of modular components.
*In [[organizational design]], [[Richard L. Daft]] and Arie Y. Lewin (1993) identified a paradigm called "modular organization" that had as its ground the need for flexible learning organizations in constant change and the need to solve their problems through coordinated self-organizing processes. This modular organization is characterized by decentralized decision-making, flatter hierarchies, [[self-organization]] of units.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Campagnolo|first1=Diego|last2=Camuffo|first2=Arnaldo|date=2010|title=The Concept of Modularity in Management Studies: A Literature Review|journal=International Journal of Management Reviews|language=en|volume=12|issue=3|pages=259–283|doi=10.1111/j.1468-2370.2009.00260.x|s2cid=145557344 |issn=1468-2370}}</ref>
