本文提出了两个系统工程分析工具，设计结构矩阵（DSM）和网络分析（NA）的集成，研究在产品开发过程（PDP）中的任务相互作用。DSM是一种基于矩阵的系统工程工具，用于分析任务序列以改进PDP执行。使用NA指标来衡量信息流的属性有助于识别重要的产品开发任务和约束PDP执行的交互。项目经理可以使用这些数据来构建团队整合机制，或者为同时调度的PDP任务组确定协调机制。职能经理和流程架构师可以使用这些数据来识别重要的或超负荷的任务。他们还可以评估阶段门和设计审查等任务是否在PDP中充当有效的信息流调节器。这种新的系统工程方法为管理人员提供了一个严格的决策支持工具，他们必须改变理想的任务序列，因为他们的项目遇到了特定的时间表，预算和专业知识的限制。© 2008 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.系统工程师
This paper proposes the integration of two systems engineering analysis tools, the Design Structure Matrix (DSM) and Network Analysis (NA), to study task interactions in a Product Development Process (PDP). The DSM is a matrix‐based systems engineering tool that analyzes task sequences to improve PDP execution. Using NA metrics to measure properties of information flow helps to identify important product development tasks and interactions that constrain PDP execution. Project managers can use these data to structure team integration mechanisms or to identify coordinating mechanisms for groups of concurrently scheduled PDP tasks. Functional managers and process architects can use these data to identify important or overloaded tasks. They can also evaluate whether tasks like stage gates and design reviews are acting as effective information flow regulators in the PDP. This new Systems Engineering approach provides a rigorous decision support tool for managers who must alter ideal task sequences due to specific schedule, budget, and expertise constraints encountered on their projects. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
