10th International Design Structure Matrix (DSM) Conference |
11 – 12 November 2008, Stockholm, Sweden
The Design Structure Matrix (DSM) is an approach to managing complexity by
putting the focus on interdependencies and information flow within and
between different domains. It has, over the years, been proven to be very
valuable in designing complex systems, optimizing technical systems and
product architectures and organizations, densely networked processes and
large market structures.
The International Design Structure Matrix (DSM) Conference is the annual
forum for practitioners, academics and researchers, and software
developers of DSM-related tools, to exchange experiences, development
results, trends, and develop new ideas to complexity management in all
kinds of industries from different perspectives. This year the conference
is hosted by the Jönköping International Business School (JIBS, Sweden) in
collaboration with The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH, Sweden), and
the Institute for Product Development at the Technische Universität
München (TUM, Germany).

The Design Structure Matrix
(DSM) is
also known as:
- The Dependency Structure
Matrix
- The Problem Solving
Matrix (PSM)
- Design Precedence
Matrix
The Design Structure
Matrix (DSM) is a System Analysis and a Project
Management tool.
-
DSM is a System
Analysis tool: provides a compact and clear representation of
a complex system and a capture method for the
interactions/interdependencies/interfaces between system elements
(i.e. sub-systems and modules).
-
DSM is a Project
Management tool: provides a project representation that allows
for feedback and
cyclic task dependencies. This is extremely important since most
engineering applications exhibit such a cyclic property. This DSM
project representation results in an improved and more realistic
execution schedule for the corresponding design activities.
