A small number of [[computer software]] applications incorporate dependency structure matrices. The leaders in this field include AML Technologies' [http://www.adeptmanagement.com/amltechnologies/index.html ADePT Design Builder] (employed in [[construction]], [[defense (military)|defense]] and [[aerospace]] projects), [[Lattix, Inc.]] [http://www.lattix.com/] LDM (used to manage [[software architecture]]), [[DeMAID/GA]], [http://www.dfss-software.com/default.asp Acclaro] and [http://www.problematics.com/ Problematics], [[NDepend]] (for analysis of [[.NET Framework|.NET]] applications). The latest version of the Java IDE [[IntelliJ IDEA]] 7.0 includes project dependency structure management since v7.0 Milestone 2. There is an open source DSM application [http://web.sysart.fi/dtangler/ dtangler] for analyzing java code. There is also a [http://www.tom-carter.net free DSM plugin] for Visual Studio and [[.NET Reflector]]. [[Sonar (software quality)|Sonar]] the [[open source software]] quality platform has design structure matrix functionality included in it for analyzing your application.
 
The use of DSM has been extended by the work of Gonzalez-RIvas and Larsson to visualize and optimize the otherwise invisible information flow and interactions associated with office work. This visualization via DSM allows the Lean Body of Knowledge to be applied to office and information intensive flows. See their book Far From the Factory: Lean for the Information Age. <ref>http://www.amazon.com/Far-Factory-Lean-Information-Age/dp/1420094564/ref=sr_sp-atf_image_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370014358&sr=8-1&keywords=far+from+the+factory<ref>
