Abstract/
Summary |
In organizations that design complex products with multiple partners, it is the coordination of the creation and communication of information that has become the most important performance factor for the product development process. Improving the coordination of design tasks offers an opportunity to substantially reduce span time and effort. In this paper a model of the development of a complex product is described. The model evaluates the impact of various coordination mechanisms (policy decisions) that affect information flow. Simulation results show the relative effectiveness of different coordination mechanisms. |
