Optimizing product architecture for complex design
TL;DR: The fuzzy design structure matrix is a Boolean matrix that can quantify the dependency strength between product components and optimize product architecture and can enhance the performance of new product development management by reducing the costs, offering product variety, decreasing the number of component iterations, and reducing the product development time.

The design structure system: A method for managing the design of complex systems
TL;DR: Techniques are shown which acknowledge circuits in the design of systems, showing where estimates are to be used, how design iterations and reviews are handled, and how information flows during the design work, to develop an effective engineering plan.

Applying the design structure matrix to system decomposition and integration problems: a review and new directions
TL;DR: This paper reviews two types of DSM, static and time-based DSMs, and four DSM applications, effective for integrating low-level design processes based on physical design parameter relationships and leads to conclusions regarding the benefits of DSMs in practice and barriers to their use.
Design for variety: developing standardized and modularized product platform architectures
Mark V. Martin,Kosuke Ishii +1 more
TL;DR: The design for variety (DFV) method as discussed by the authors uses the concept of specification "flows" within a product de- velopment project, and develops two indices to measure a product's architecture.
