This paper conducts a systematic literature review about the management of rule-based product-portfolios with high variance. This type of portfolio is particularly distinctive in the chosen use case of the German automotive industry since it satisfies the requirements of mass customization and modularization. However, the research field of variant- and complexity management is manifold and multidimensional. This paper systematically searches the databases Scopus and Web of Science using the PRISMA method and briefly summarizes the main contributions and comparing them by elaborated topics.
