Engineering changes are inevitable and might propagate within and across multiple
boundaries. Their management has increasingly become relevant within the …

This paper presents a modelling method that seeks to support the prediction and
management of undesired engineering change (EC) propagation during the design and …

Engineering changes are unavoidable and occur throughout the lifecycle of products. Due to
the high interconnectivity of engineering products, a single change to one component …

Aircraft assembly tooling is developed according to the constraints of geometric information
and technical requirements of aircraft, and frequent aircraft changes can cause assembly …

Many new products are developed through modifications of existing ones. However, the
engineering changes required to implement such modifications can sometimes propagate …

In order to improve the efficiency of engineering change (EC) processes, the mechanism of
knowledge flow in EC process is described via analyzing knowledge transformation and …

Changes occur at all stages in the product life. This paper presents a methodology to
support designers managing changes through the entire lifecycle of a system, by providing …

It is common for companies to generate new products through modi cation of existing ones.
This is known as incremental change. During this process, designers are usually faced with …

The sheer scale of large engineering projects is impressive in terms of thenumber of people
involved, the number of components designed and the time-scaleof the project. For …

Economic and technical changes force manufacturers to redesign and enhance their
operational systems. The implications of such changes within a complex system such as …
