This study report presents a graph-based model to measure the relative complexity of design projects. Using managerial and technical graphs and complexity design structure matrix, the relative complexity of design projects can be determined. The relative complexity measure can support assembly-oriented design, and guide the designer in creating a product with the most effective balance of manufacturing and assembly complexity. Furthermore, the complexity measures can be used as a yardstick for budgeting and resource allocation for future design projects or maintenance cost estimation. An illustrative example is demonstrated to present the application of the model.
