設計專案利用完善之資訊處理及溝通程序，規劃出符合業主需求之產品。然而作業資訊具不確定性，且有反覆傳遞需求，故專案執行期間之資訊遺漏或反覆處理，易造成多餘的時間與成本耗費；此外於工程專案專業化趨勢下，設計團隊常由不同公司組織或部門構成，成員間因專案執行過程中資訊處理、溝通及決策行為存在不確定因素，將使執行結果難以預測。基於上述二面向，管理人員在專案規劃上，更需在作業程序與組織設計上做整體性考量。
作業程序規劃上，曾有研究解析資訊流，利用相依關係結構矩陣定義各作業間之關聯，藉以處理反覆設計問題，結果顯示其具良好成效，但此方法未考慮組織成員於處理作業過程中，對設計結果所造成的影響。專案組織相關研究中，則多以建立概略衡量之指標，來做為組織的評估基準，亦未能考量成員於執行作業過程中，由於不確定因素，而造成之設計結果未如預期。
本研究旨在建構一設計專案組織最佳化模式，以輔助管理人員完善專案組織規劃，其中包含兩部份：設計專案分解以及專案組織最佳化，其中專案組織最佳化又分為兩個子模式：模擬專案執行子模式以及基因演算法求解專案組織最佳化子模式。本研究首先以滿足業主需求為主要目標，將專案分解，隨後從資訊流角度解析作業內容、定義資訊流傳遞情形，進而建立作業間關聯，並決定作業執行順序。完成作業程序規劃後，即加入處理人員之資訊，模擬專案處理結果可能之耗費時間，以比較各不同組織之處理效能。最後導入基因演算法，產生不同之組織組成，以最小化模擬時間為目標，求解最佳化專案組織。
經由案例應用與驗證結果顯示，本研究建立之組織最佳化模式，在合理時間內可獲得適切之結果。此最佳化模式利用資訊流解析以定義作業間關聯，另加入成員資訊模擬執行結果，並結合基因演算法搜尋最適組織組成，對進行專案組織規劃之管理人，提供了具效益之輔助方法。

Design projects are often complex and involved with many interdependent tasks. It requires effective design process and feasible organization to make these projects successful. Current design projects are multidisciplinary in nature, project manager needs to consider how effective the information is being communicated between different tasks, what kind of specialized discipline is required, when can the information be processed, and who is exclusively responsible for the project.
This research focouses on developing an optimal organization model for design project, which includes two parts: First, project decomposition, and second, project organization optimization. In part one, the quality function method(QFD) are first used to decompose the project into tasks for assuring that the design result can satisfy the proprietor’s requirement. Following the QFD, IDEF method is used to define the information flow between tasks. The dependency structure matrix (DSM) is then used to describe the interdependence between tasks and formulate the design process. In part two, a model of optimizing the organization for the design project is built by incorporating DSM, simulation mechanism, and genetic algorithms. Genetic Algorithms are used to find the best organization structure by minimizing the estimated project duration which is simulated according o the predetermined DSM and the simulation mechanism.
A case study is performed to verify the proposed optimization model. The results show that this optimization model along with the implemented computer program can provide efficient solutions to help project managers determine the best organization for the design project.
