Designing Matrix Structures to Fit MNC Strategy
2017This chapter uses a similar information-processing logic to hypothesize fits between the individual dimensions of a matrix and elements of MNC strategy. The hypotheses are empirically tested with a sample of 57 matrix structure firms. The testing both confirms the overall information-processing logic underlying the theory and helps to refine and extend

Schema design using a data structure matrix
Information Systems, 1978Abstract A formal design procedure of a data base schema based on the conceptual framework of the Codasyl DBTG, is presented. A data structure matrix is used to identify and interrelate entry types of the data base. The design procedure rests upon a description of the set of information messages conceptually communicated with the data base.

Scalable product platform design based on design structure matrix and axiomatic design
International Journal of Product Development, 2015Product platform design has been recognised as an effective means to establish and preserve competitive status in the market and to maintain the economies of scale and scope, while keeping production costs to a minimum. To this end, a new design method for scalable product platform is presented based on design structure matrix and axiomatic design ...

Process integration using the design structure matrix
Systems Engineering, 2002Abstract A process, as a kind of system, derives its added value from the relationships among its elements (e.g., activities). For a group of activities to be truly integrated (versus merely aggregated), the flow of deliverables among them must be well defined, agreed to, and committed to.

Design Structure Matrix Implementation on a Seismic Retrofit
Journal of Management in Engineering, 2010A void exists in development of design theory methodology within the structural engineering community. This void hampers efforts to resolve performance deficiencies including cost over-runs, unplanned rework, and suboptimal design. In manufacturing, product design and production improvements have resulted from implementation of the design structure ...

Product configuration analysis with design structure matrix
Industrial Management & Data Systems, 2006PurposeProduct configurator is a sales and production‐planning tool that helps to transform customer requirements into bills‐of‐materials, lists of features and cost estimations. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a method of how to analyse sales configuration models by using a design structure matrix (DSM) tool.

ANALYSIS OF DESIGN STRUCTURE MATRIX METHODS IN DESIGN PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
International Journal of Modelling and Simulation, 2012AbstractIn this paper, design structure matrix (DSM) methods are presented to manage design iteration or rework which is inherent in the design process. Three DSM methods: path searching, powers of the adjacency matrix, and reachability matrix methods are discussed. Their advantages and disadvantages with respect to the project scope are summarized. As
