ABSTRACT:
A method and system for reducing development time of a complex system such as an automobile engine utilizing correlation matrices are provided. First, second and tertiary level correlation matrices are preferably created and stored on a computer system in a LAN. The correlation matrices are provided to identify the minimum necessary tests and components that are required to parallel test the subsystems of a selected major engine system without the use of the entire engine. In a matrix development stage, test procedures are researched and various engineers are consulted to subjectively rank the matrices to obtain subjective matrices. These rankings allow one to determine which components are required to validate an engine subsystem test. In addition, an objective matrix is developed in a matrix validation procedure based on actual test results of a fully functional engine. This allows the user to compare the objective matrix with a corresponding subjective matrix to determine a level of confidence. Use of this method and system would enable engineers to predict the behavior of subsystems within their natural environment with a high level of confidence.
