Abstract

Increasing sophistications and complexity of modern projects create new challenges to design management practices. This paper discusses an integrated approach for managing design complexity in engineering projects. Innovations in architectural design, construction processes, information technology and communications and increasing regulations have significant contributions in resulting complexity of projects. Appropriate understanding and management of complexity increase chances for project success. In this research, a process simulation technique has been employed for assisting proactive and optimal decisions in definition and development of complex projects. Simulation techniques allow de..
