Large Language Models for Combinatorial Optimization of Design Structure Matrix

📰 ArXiv cs.AI

Large Language Models (LLMs) can be applied to combinatorial optimization of Design Structure Matrix (DSM) in complex engineering systems

advanced Published 7 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Model the dependencies among components or development activities using Design Structure Matrix (DSM)
  2. Apply Large Language Models (LLMs) to reorganize elements within the DSM and minimize feedback loops
  3. Evaluate the optimized DSM for enhanced modularity and process efficiency
  4. Integrate the optimized DSM into the engineering design and operations workflow
