... durations than the static sequencing method. In the process model, we assume that tasks in a design project are performed sequentially at a workstation for the purpose of representing multiproject environment. Iteration in a design process is modeled with DSM-based rework-probability and impact matrices...

... in understanding and analyzing such a project is the design structure matrix (DSM). This paper presents a framework that obtains an optimum sequence of project activities—presented by the DSM—that minimizes total time and cost given stochastic activity estimated time and cost. The framework interfaces a meta...
