Abstract:
The main point of this paper is to demonstrate that multi-domain DSM optimizing can provide different results from individual domain optimizations. However, it is not a simple matter to develop global objective functions (O.F.) to do so. In general, the best way to develop such global O.F.s is to start by understanding cross domain relationships and devising rules for such relationships. One such relationship deployed in this paper is between the process and team DSMs, which states that whenever there is a feedback between process DSM elements, it is beneficial to have the these feedback elements represented in the same team formations in the corresponding team DSM.
