Set Up

This paper examines the application of proposed Design Structure Matrix (DSM) by modeling the collaborative design of the Automotive Powertrain System. A task of the whole design process is divided into several levels and some specific design tasks. Respectively, the flow diagram is set up based on the DSM principle. In order to optimize the design process and to shorten the development cycle, detailed analysis and reconstruction of DSM were performed by eliminating iterative design process.

Case Design

The collaborative design of the automotive powertrain system is a complex activity, which is involved with multiple disciplines and personnel for completion. Besides, characteristic of multiple goals and no specific operator, design process is inclined to collision, thus collision detection has become critical in collaborative design on the system. In the study, collision factors in the process of collaborative design on the system are analyzed and modeled and a section-based collision detection algorithm is proposed which is competent in detecting collisions in the process of clutch case design.

Number Of Iterations

This Design Structure Matrix is a method and a tool used to capture, analyze and optimize iterations in the design process. It has been widely used over the past two decades by researchers from both academia and industry. DSM is well suited to identify iterations in the design process. Many heuristics were developed to deal with DSM in order to reduce the number of iterations by rescheduling the tasks of the design process. These heuristics are based on a process called partitioning. These heuristics give generally an approached solution but not the optimal one. In this paper we introduce a new algorithm in order to get the exact solution of the partitioning process using linear programming.

Engineering change is an important and complex activity for manufacturing enterprises. In order to improve the efficiency of engineering change, designers should pay different attentions to different nodes of product development network. In that case, a method of classifying the nodes was proposed. First, we proposed a method to cluster the nodes based on design structure matrix; then, we analyzed the indexes for evaluating the importance of nodes and studied the method of classifying the nodes of product development network; finally, the experiment of managing a type of motorcycle engine was employed to validate our method and it showed the correctness of the proposed method.
