Simulating Design Processes with self-iteration activities based on DSM planning

摘要: Design processes are fundamentally iterative. The increasing knowledge about the product, while designing, manifests in design changes of previously accomplished activities. Such iterations considered as a major source increased product development lead-time and cost; thus process planning simulation essential. structure matrix (DSM) is known method for planning. Since DSM itself does not express all relevant information that required defining logic, logic interpretation required. "Business rules", being options applicable different business cases, can guide automatic translation to valid iterative plans. This study focuses on implementing self activity simulation. Notwithstanding their importance, they overlooked literature. Using rules results various run time exhibit non-trivial behaviors, fully validated test case.
