Abstract：Modeling of product design process in concurrent environment is analyzed.Network and matrix representations of design activity sequences are established. Based on the network representation, an analysis method for design activity sequence, critical path and time consuming is presented. This method can make quantitative analysis on the product design activities, so the key factors that affect the process of the product design can be determined.
