“…As the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) modernises its legacy air traffic systems by 2025, traditional systems engineering practices need to be transformed to efficiently and effectively address tomorrow's demands [7]. Agile practices in the commercial and federal domains have proven that it is a valid method to deliver high quality products in alignment with users' needs.…”

“…An agile design methodology is based on the idea of an agile development process, where design flexibility facilitates the ability to rapidly adapt operational and technical changes. Both agile frameworks attempt to minimize risk through the continuous delivery of incremental value to the user community, where the system addresses a set of critical operational needs based on user's prioritization input within a fixed timeframe and a budget-constrained environment [7].…”

“…Agile focuses on the high priority operational needs so that the design may evolve, and ensures that the system's objectives are aligned with the stakeholders' needs and goals. An agile approach enables the FAA's systems engineers and software developers to continuously refine the technical scope based on cost and schedule constraints and operational and technical changes, and to define an implementation plan that drives the delivery of usable features for NextGen systems to the aviation community [7].…”

Engineering Change Management (ECM) is an essential constituent of any product development project, these project are highly dynamic process of knowledge generation and reuse for products, projects, processes and resources within a enterprise. Currently, ECM is fully document-, and at least partially paper-based, and needs to be transformed to a fully model-based standard workflow. Changes, uncertainty and hidden processes should be seen as regular events. For the agile process, a rapid and flexible handling of task items is necessary. Due to the unpredictable character and short time of singular task items, we have developed a new approach to collect all changes to a superordinate, master change note as a standard, common object in the product structure, and to and update this master change note as often as necessary. This change note is assigned to a product during its entire lifecycle. It collects changes in the product and related processes and equipment. We present a new approach in order to facilitate a full object-oriented support of all activities related to the change process. On each update, singular task items can be re-prioritized within this master change note according to the current needs.

PurposeSince conducting agile strategies provides sustainable passenger satisfaction and revenue by replacing applied policies with more profitable ones rapidly, the focus of this study is to evaluate agile attributes for managing low-cost carriers (LCCs) operations by means of resources and competences based on dynamic capabilities built on resource-based view (RBV) theory and to achieve sustainable competitive advantage in a volatile and dynamic air transport environment. LCCs in Turkey are also evaluated in this study since the competition among LCCs is high to gain market share and they can adapt quickly to all kinds of circumstances.Design/methodology/approachTwo well-known Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Methods (MCDM) named as the Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) and multi-attributive border approximation area comparison (MABAC) methods by employing Picture fuzzy sets (PiFS) are employed to determine weight of agile attributes and superiority of LCCs based on agile attributes in the market, respectively. To check the consistency and robustness of the results for the proposed approach, comparative and sensitivity analysis are performed at the end of the study.FindingsWhile the ranking orders of agile attributes are Strategic Responsiveness (AG1), Financial Management (AG4), Quality (AG2), Digital integration (AG3) and Reliability (AG5), respectively, LCC2 is selected as the best agile airline company in Turkey with respect to agile attributes. SWARA and MABAC method based on PiFS is appropriate and effective method to evaluate agile attributes that has important reference value for the airline companies in aviation industry.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study will support managers in the airline industry to conduct airline operations more flexibly and effectively to take sustainable competitive advantage in unexpected and dynamic environment.Originality/valueTo the author' best knowledge, this study is the first developed to identify the attributes necessary to increase agility in LCCs. Thus, as a systematic tool, a framework is developed for the implementation of agile attributes to achieve sustainable competitive advantage in the airline industry and presented a roadmap for airline managers to deal with crises and challenging situations by satisfying customer and increasing competitiveness.

This paper addresses the needs of the Product Emergence Process (PEP) to adopt agile methodologies, specifically those managed in a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system. Agile methodologies are expected to provide solutions to reduced lead time, changing product requirements, rising product complexity and turbulent market conditions. Engineering Change Management (ECM) is the process that drives and oversees the process that ensures products meet expected targets and is particularly impacted with the adoption of an agile approach. Furthermore, commercial PLM systems primarily cater to a waterfall approach. The objective of this paper is to propose a conceptual solution that enables the execution of the ECM process in a PLM system while empowering the companies to manage the challenges of product development in a more agile manner. For a feasible integration of agile and PLM tools we propose DIONE (DIscovery, OpportuNity, Exploit). DIONE maps agile methods (specifically those of Scrum) to PLM artifacts of the ECM, and allows for ongoing changes, with continuous assessments during execution cycles. A practical implementation of DIONE in PLM is proposed. The paper also explores the challenges identified for implementing such a framework and the benefits of hybrid development approaches. The key findings emphasize the need for well-thought implementation of agile methodologies in ECM, the need for automation of impact analysis and leveraging engineering knowledge to support the ECM. The paper also explores organizational challenges identified for implementing agile in the PEP. In conclusion, this research highlights the importance of adopting an agile approach to manage effectively the complexity of emerging change requests in ECM. It encourages further research in automation, knowledge gathering and management, and the need to be innovative in the ways the ECM can be implemented.
