Title:

Facing Multi-Domain Complexity in Product Development

Author(s):
Lindemann, Udo; Maurer, Maik
Abstract:
Controlling product complexity turned into an important issue for product development. This paper introduces a methodology for analysis, interpretation, and optimization of complex systems comprising of interdependencies between several domains. Therefore, the multi-domain matrix is introduced as an extension of known matrix approaches. Furthermore, analysis criteria for system structures are defined that base on graph theory.
