Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters.

Abstract:
There are numerous approaches to analyze and improve processes systematically. This paper focuses especially on the application of structural complexity metrics that assess, at a high level, how the different entities of a process interact and where, through the identification of structural outliers, there might point to possible weak spots. The paper is based on a previously published case study and compares a recent, more comprehensive set of complexity metrics to an existing analysis using a case study taken from automotive design.
