Research Abstract	interactions among subsystems and components of complex products like automotives often cause physical and/or functional interferences and rework of development tasks, which lead to increase in costs and longer development lead-time. This study formulated a procedure to apply the designs( ructure matrix (DSM) to describe design structure of a product and/or process of development task, so that visualize the architecture of the product to be developed. The study revealed a tentative method to minimize unfavorable interactions among subsystems and to streamline the development process.
