Resource-based 'Parent' Design Structure Matrix (DSM).

Source: R/dsm.R
parent_dsm.Rd

This function computes the Resource-based 'Parent' Design Structure Matrix (DSM) from a given Resource-Task Matrix 'S'. The 'Parent' DSM indicates the number of resources shared between each pair of tasks in a project.

Usage

parent_dsm(S)

Arguments

S

Resource-Task Matrix 'S' giving the links (arcs) between resources and tasks. Rows represent resources and columns represent tasks.

Value

An S3 object of class "dsm" with the following components:

matrix

The Resource-based 'Parent' DSM giving the number of resources shared between each task.

type

Character string "parent".

n_tasks

Number of tasks (columns in S).

n_resources

Number of resources (rows in S).

Examples

# Set the S matrix for a toy project (3 resources x 4 tasks).
s <- matrix(c(1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1), nrow = 3, ncol = 4,

              c("Resource-1", "Resource-2", "Resource-3"),
              c("Task-1", "Task-2", "Task-3", "Task-4")
            ))
cat("Resource-Task Matrix:\n")
#> Resource-Task Matrix:
print(s)
#>            Task-1 Task-2 Task-3 Task-4
