Abstract
This paper presents dependency structure matrix (DSM) modeling and requirement specification methods that support the development of a lock product platform. The study concerns methods for similarity, modularity, and commonality analysis of a navigation lock portfolio and the creation of a language for writing concise and unambiguous function- and design-specifications. In this paper, we present the methods that we have developed and show how we have used them for the development of a navigation lock product platform. The study bridges DSM modeling with requirements specification in an engineering systems design context.
