Clustering a DSM Using Simulated Annealing

In this blog post, we will explore how to use simulated annealing to cluster a Design Structure Matrix (DSM). We will also discuss how this approach differs from the implementation developed by Ronnie Thebeau as part of his master&rsquo;s thesis. What is a Design Structure Matrix (DSM)? A Design Structure Matrix (DSM) is a compact, matrix representation of a system or project. It is used to model…
