The Design Structure Matrix (DSM)

The design society was founded to contribute to a broad and established understanding of development and design, and to promote the use of results and knowledge from research on engineering design for the good of humanity.  As part of this work, the Special Interest Group “Managing Structural Complexity” was set up to gain and mediate areas of competence with regard to the structural complexity management in all aspects of product development by consideration of different views onto a system, its elements and interdependencies, and its evolution and dynamics.
