This project will focus on design coordination, which is the management of dependencies among individuals and teams involved in the design of a complex product or system. Effective coordination can assist with timely completion of a design project, while ineffective coordination is known to cause unnecessary rework and wasted effort, in which individuals spending more time than necessary on communication and problem resolution, which means that value-adding design work proceeds slower.
This project will seek to develop a computer simulation exploring the decomposition of interdependent work among multiple teams and organisations involved in a complex project. This will substantially extend existing simulation code which was developed by the student proposing the project. To generate insights the model will be populated with data from the literature and/or synthetic representative examples. It will be used to examine factors that may contribute to more (or less) efficient coordination.
