Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the automatic configuration and/or equipment of a vehicle cabin (1), more particularly of an aircraft, wherein the cabin (1) is subdivided into a plurality of zones (A, B, C, D, E) and the method furthermore comprises the following steps: —selection of a plurality of individual modules (11a, 11b, 11c) from a pool of individual modules, —automatic connection of the selected individual modules (11a, 11b, 11c) to form a desired module package (10a), —automatic calculation of a desired module package configuration value, —automatic comparison of the desired module package configuration value with predefined module package configuration values which respectively correspond to a technically prevalidated module package, —automatic selection of the module package (10b) whose module package configuration value deviates the least from the desired module package configuration value, —arrangement of the selected module package (10b) in a zone (A, B, C, D, E) of the cabin (1). The invention furthermore relates to a system and a computer program.
