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 product architectures and organizations, densely networked processes and large market structures. In doing so, it is able to provide a major competitive advantage, as it enables the user to better grasp and comprehend highly complex systems. The International 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.     «
