Supporting conflict management in collaborative design: An approach to assess engineering change impacts

Analysis of tumor markers in cytological fluid obtained from computed tomography–guided needle aspiration biopsies for the diagnosis of ground‐glass opacity pulmonary lesions

“…Other simulations investigating the complex interrelations between EC tasks and designers in a collaborative network to support effective and efficient ECM processes include Gärtner et al [2009], Li and Moon [2009], Eckert et al [2010], Wynn et al [2010], and Reddi and Moon [2011a]. Some authors have also discussed workflow models [e.g., Chinn and Madey, 2000; Liu et al, 2004; Qiu and Wong, 2007] and strategies to overlap coupled activities and reorganize the execution of design task [e.g., Ouertani, 2008] in the context of ECM. Some approaches on dealing with iterations [e.g., Krehmer et al, 2008; Langer et al, 2011] as well as much of the work on process management listed under the category A.2 can also be applied to support the implementation of ECs.…”

A simulation model to study the impact of early information on design duration and redesign

“…Krishnan et al (1997) increased the concurrency by overlapping activities and modeled rework iteration by revising downstream activity until upstream information had been finalized. Bhuiyan et al (2004), Bogus et al (2006), andOuertani (2008) have done similar researches to further extent the overlapping concept more elaborately. However, their models are applicable for a pair of sequential activities but are cumbersome to model the interaction of multiple activities and incorporation of early information and redesign.…”

Integration of engineering change objects in product data management databases to support engineering change analysis

“…Among the tasks in ECA, typical tasks addressed in research include EC evaluation and EC propagation [5][6][7][8][9]. EC evaluation allows engineers to prioritize proposed EC requests using various decision criteria.…”
