Modular and future proof design of the energy storage and conversion system: A method development using Design Structure Matrix with the test case based on a Damen double ended ferry

Currently there is an energy transition from fossil fuels towards zero emission fuels within the marine sector. In addition to this, improvements are made in system design with regard to standardization of which allows for variation. The combination of these two improvements is found in the EU H2020 NAVAIS project which focuses on customer...

Towards Information Integrated Design Management: A study on the effects of inter-disciplinary information dependency on design in construction design projects

This M.Sc. thesis is related to the use of Design Structure Matrix (DSM), a design process modeling technique, to model, analyze and improve design processes in Oil and Gas Construction Projects. DSM was used to model the design process of an engineering design section at an Oil and Gas Engineering Company using the information dependencies in...
