significant role.<br />

On the other hand, in suspended ceiling assembly design each<br />

specified performance requirement except privacy affects the design<br />

process. Spatial fit and structural safety are again the most influential<br />

requirements, but in this case the percentage of structural safety slightly<br />

exceeds that of spatial fit (structural safety 28.95%, spatial fit 2<strong>6.3</strong>2%)<br />

(Figure 6.20).<br />

When the banded DSMs of two levels of design are compared, it is<br />

observed that while the system level DSM consists of 17 bands (Figure<br />

6.16), the assembly level DSM includes only 11 (Figure 6.17). This<br />
