Efficient process optimization (2003)
Journal Article
Whitfield, R., Duffy, A., Coates, G., & Hills, W. (2003). Efficient process optimization. Concurrent Engineering: Research and Applications, 11(2), 83-92. https://doi.org/10.1177/1063293x03032082

A computer-based system for modelling and optimizing processes is presented. The Design Structure Matrix (DSM) process representation was used to model the processes due to its compact, generic and easily quantifiable nature. The system is capable of...
