Teams are formed to resolve each sub-problem. The original problem is resolved from solutions of sub-problems. Ideally, sub-problems are not only mutually independent but also inherent parameters of original problem. Solution of original problem can be directly derived from the collection of solutions from simplified sub-problems. In practice, the degree of interdependency is indeed reduced, sub-problems are neither totally independent nor all inherent parameters of original problem. This paper discusses team coordination under this condition and design solution from each team, which not only satisfies total requirements but also is an optimal one. The suggested optimized constraint decomposition method will insure workable Pareto solution.展开更多

文摘In order to facilitate solution, a complex problem is normally decomposed into many small sub-problems during product development process. Teams are formed to resolve each sub-problem. The original problem is resolved from solutions of sub-problems. Ideally, sub-problems are not only mutually independent but also inherent parameters of original problem. Solution of original problem can be directly derived from the collection of solutions from simplified sub-problems. In practice, the degree of interdependency is indeed reduced, sub-problems are neither totally independent nor all inherent parameters of original problem. This paper discusses team coordination under this condition and design solution from each team, which not only satisfies total requirements but also is an optimal one. The suggested optimized constraint decomposition method will insure workable Pareto solution.
