Application of DSM Topological Sort Method in Business Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Because of its unique role in the information flow analysis, the design structure matrix (DSM) is widely used to the optimization of the organization, parameter and other aspects. Its matrix representation, the dynamic features make it possible that be applied to optimization of business processes, but so far the DSM in the business process application is also rare. In the paper, DSM is tentatively applied to topological sort in the business process and is compared to the traditional topological method. These explorations for the application of the DSM in the optimization of business processes are positive.
