Modeling the Collaborative Design of the Automotive Powertrain System Based on the Design Structure Matrix

Abstract:

This paper examines the application of proposed Design Structure Matrix (DSM) by modeling the collaborative design of the Automotive Powertrain System. A task of the whole design process is divided into several levels and some specific design tasks. Respectively, the flow diagram is set up based on the DSM principle. In order to optimize the design process and to shorten the development cycle, detailed analysis and reconstruction of DSM were performed by eliminating iterative design process.
