Abstract
A method is described for determining the optimum amount of design effort to employ on each project of a set of projects in engineering design office.
For each project, the design time for different levels of design and the expected savings from the more detailed levels must be provided. Also, estimates of the market losses due to delayed start-up, and the probability of the project being completed must be supplied.
A combinatorial program then selects the optimum level of design for each project. An example is given.
