To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our study of the design process has led to the development of formal mathematical models of the design process which can estimate the amount of time that it takes to design a technical product [Eppinger et al. 1990, Eppinger et al. 1992, Smith and Eppinger 1991a, Smith and Eppinger 1991b]. We have applied one of the models (the Work Transformation Model, described in the next section) to some industrial design environments [Smith and Eppinger 1991b], which have shown reasonable correlation with... our model. While we are encouraged by the analytical results of these design iteration models, we have found, however, that actual design environments are difficult to observe directly. One must rely on the retrospective description of the design process fi-om the individuals involved. We have designed the research experiment presented here in order to verify the ability of the Work Transformation Model (WTM) to predict important differences in the performance of alternative design strategies. The experimental design environment is small enough so that we can observe and control it directly.
