Engineering change management in individual and mass production
(2005) In Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing 21(3). p.205-215- Abstract
- The ability to manage engineering changes (ECs) efficiently reflects the agility of an enterprise. A large majority of products become gradually improved and perfected through the developmental-design process, during which the set design requirements are met or even upgraded, thus prolonging the product life cycle. The concept of product improvement was based on the activation and tracking of (ECs) through the developmental-design phase and the manufacturing phase. A special method was used to recognize activities within the process and the degree of involvement of individual participants. The individuals involved in the process were provided with appropriate information and the required communication channels with others were ensured. The... (More)

The individuals involved in the process were provided with appropriate information and the required communication channels with others were ensured. The EC process was generalized and applied to different types of production. A product's complexity and design level were analyzed first, and key factors such as CE methods, process definition, information system, communication and organization were used as a tool for optimizing the EC process. The method was tested and successfully applied into industrial practice. (Less)
