However, it is not an easy task to manage the design project because of the complexity within the design stage process, the versatility of information, and the large number of people involved. Moreover, past studies show that a comprehensive and well-planned design process not only satisfies the proprietor’s needs but also can be cost-effective and timesaving. Since executing design projects required collaborated efforts, the organization structure to process information is important. Also, since the operation information is large in quantity and possesses uncertainty, the conveyance of information, and the smoothness of processing will affect project execution efficiency. Therefore, comprehensive planning on operation procedure and organization structure is essential. In past research, organization structure was designed to cope with design activities within the project. In addition, Dependency Structure Matrix was established to represent the relationships between design activities in terms of information flow. Furthermore, the performance of the entire project organization had been predicted by means of simulating micro-information process and intra-organization communication. Results show that detailed organization design methods are produced by use of micro-theory and analysis tools. However, the attributes of the organization structure were generally difficult to quantify. Therefore, this study viewed the organization structure from a macro-perspective. Respective member processing operation behaviors are simulated based on organization structure dimensions. Finally, the simulated results shall serve as reference for selecting a suitable organization structure. A set of systematic analysis tools for designing organization structure is developed in this study. At first, the organization requirements are defined to formulate organization strategies. Then, some factors that determine the organization were chosen to develop a fuzzy-based system which categorizes the types of organization structure. Moreover, a set of abstract model is set up to simulate organization member based on the organization structure classification method. The simulated performances of the different organizations were compared to find out a pattern that can help the manager to plan an appropriate organization structure.
