Revolutionize product design with innovative matrix-based approach for variety optimization!
The article introduces a new method called Quantified Design Structure Matrix (QDSM) to help companies design a variety of products efficiently. By using graph theory and weighting, this method helps designers plan and prioritize product designs effectively. The approach involves two phases: global planning and local planning. The study shows that with this method, designers can create different product designs within a product family without wasting time on unnecessary design loops.
