当面临设计复杂系统的问题时，设计团队必须做出许多决策。因为许多设计问题太难了，不能一次解决所有问题，团队将把设计问题分解成更易于管理的子问题。尽管对单个设计师的研究表明，显式分解很少被使用，但是我们进行了一个初步的研究来确定，由于他们需要就他们的设计决策制定活动进行交流，设计团队是否显式地分解他们的工作。本文描述了我们的研究结果，其中我们观察了四个专业工程师团队，他们重新设计了制造设施并分析了他们的决策过程。该研究的目标是深入了解团队是否以及何时选择问题的分解，以及他们是否使用显式或隐式分解。结果表明，团队确实讨论了他们的分解，但并不是讨论了每个子问题，并且他们没有预先分解整个问题。未来的研究将确定其他团队是否有类似的行为，并将调查团队如何确定设计过程中下一步要解决的子问题。
When faced with the problem of designing a complex system, a design team must make many decisions. Because many design problems are too difficult to solve all at once, the team will decompose the design problem into more manageable subproblems. Although studies of individual designers have shown that explicit decomposition is seldom used, we conducted a pilot study to determine whether, because they need to communicate about their design decision making activities, design teams explicitly decompose their work. This paper describes the results of our study, in which we observed four teams of professional engineers who redesigned a manufacturing facility and analyzed their decision-making processes. The goal of the study was to gain insights into whether and when teams select a decomposition of the problem and whether they utilize explicit or implicit decomposition. The results show that the teams did discuss their decompositions, but not every subproblem was discussed, and they did not decompose the entire problem upfront. Future research will determine if other teams behave similarly and will investigate how teams determine which subproblem to solve next in the design process.
