Abstract
Systems Engineering, with its long tradition of success in dealing with complex systems, includes a number of methods and tools that are integral parts of Design Methodology. As research is an ongoing process, generating new results and insights, transferring and adopting further elements out from Systems Engineering has a lot of potential. This will be demonstrated with some case studies of using matrix and graph methods to handle structural complexity. The cases deal with requirement analysis in a product-service system, knowledge exchange in practice, design to cost of mechatronic systems, and planning of material flow in a complex construction environment.
