  text: The increasing number of product artifacts (e.g., mechanical or electronic
    components, software functions, documents) confronts small and medium-sized companies
    with the challenge of assessing change effects. The lack of knowledge of artifact
    relationships causes problems, such as outdated documentation, lack of coordination
    with affected disciplines, or delayed changes. The Design Structure Matrix (DSM)
    can clearly represent the elements and relationships of complex systems. This
    paper presents an assistance system for intuitive visualization of engineering
    change effects using existing DSM-based methods for complexity management. The
    implemented algorithms compute graph layouts, cluster analyses, and change predictions
    in the form of change risk, time, and cost. An application example of a 3D-printed
    intelligent lamp demonstrates the approach's viability. The paper concludes with
    a discussion of the benefits and future activities.
