abstract |
Engineering change is a fundamental part of all design activities at all stages of
design. Most complex products are designed by modification from existing ones. Requirements
change during long development projects. Problems through the design process require
rework. Yet engineering change has only recently become the topic of academic research
and only few specific tools exist to manage engineering change. This paper reports
on two workshops held in 2008, one in the UK and one in the US, where practising engineers
reported on the challenges their organisations face with engineering changes and what
approaches they take to deal with the effects of change. An analysis of 11 presentations
shows that the causes volunteered for engineering change are very similar. However
the approaches taken by companies to assess, manage and potentially take advantage
of engineering changes are very different. In the absence of specific tools for management
engineering change companies used general process improvement and systems engineering
tools, ranging from virtual design and QFD to high-level system simulation. |
