“…Engineering Change Management is the process of identifying, evaluating, approving and implementing changes to a product or system throughout its life cycle (Wilberg, Elezi, Tommelein, & Lindemann, 2015). It is critical to ensure that products meet customer requirements and regulatory standards and are delivered on time and within budget.…”

“…An Engineering Change (EC) can be defined as a change to parts, drawings or software that has been approved during the product design process. The size and nature of the change, and even the number of people and duration of the application, can vary depending on the project and the various factors involved (Wilberg et al, 2015) (Jarratt et al, 2011). Engineering Change can be understood as the activities carried out to make changes to a product.…”

“…ECM is a component of project management and its implementation is an important step to achieve success in the projects as it assumes a relevant role, being responsible for keeping all the ECs under control (Wilberg et al, 2015;Eckert, Clarkson, & Zanker, 2004). The activities of ECM include forecasting possible changes, identifying changes that have already occurred, planning preventive measures and also coordinating the changes (Wilberg et al, 2015).…”

Em primeiro lugar gostaria de agradecer à minha família, à minha mãe, à minha irmã, que me apoiaram e motivaram durante todo o meu percurso, permitindo-me atingir este objetivo.Um agradecimento especial também a todos os meus amigos que tornaram esta viagem uma agradável aventura. A todos os que já conhecia no início destes anos e a todos aqueles que a universidade me apresentou. Guardo memórias que já mais esquecerei.Muito obrigado também aos meus orientadores, professora Anabela Tereso e professor Cláudio Santos, por terem aceitado suportar este projeto e por desde o primeiro momento me apoiarem com o seu conhecimento no desenvolvimento desta dissertação.Por fim, um agradecimento à minha orientadora na empresa, Catarina Mendes, por todo o conhecimento partilhado e por desde o primeiro dia me motivar e desafiar. Obrigado a todos os colegas da Bosch, em especial à equipa de gestão de projetos em Braga por se mostrarem sempre disponíveis a ajudar, por me fazerem sentir integrado e por tornarem esta experiência inesquecível.

“…In particular the second part of this definition highlights the relevance of ECs with reference to the time schedule and costs of a design project, which is why an efficient engineering change management (ECM) can be seen as a main competitive advantage (Wilberg et al, 2015). To gain this advantage Wilberg et al (2015) state that "Engineering change management seeks to forecast possible changes, identify changes that have already occurred, plan preventive measures and coordinate changes across the entire project." ECM also comprises the ICED19 implementation of (bundled) ECs, which is why it is closely linked to Release Engineering (RE).…”

Engineering Changes (ECs) are substantial elements of the design process of technical products and are in particular relevant for companies due to enormous additional costs and time delays they can cause. In order to better understand ECs and realize efficient Engineering Change Management (ECM), different approaches exist. One aspect of ECM are change propagation analysis, which try to analyze knock-on effects of an EC on other product elements or the development process. How ECs can propagate is in particular difficult to assess for complex products realized within different engineering domains (mechanical, electrical and software engineering). To address this challenge, ECs are classified, strategies to cope with ECs are presented and change propagation approaches are analyzed in this paper. Thereby a lack of indicators for cross-domain propagation is identified. To overcome this issue, the distinction of domain-specific and cross-domain linkage types is proposed and a set of linkage types is presented. Further research is motivated to integrate these linkage types in product models while also considering processes and organizational structures as additional dimensions of ECM.

“…These trends favour the occurrence of technical changes, which are an inseparable part of every development process and have a significant influence on the efficiency and effectiveness of development processes, as they account for around 25% of development capacity (Potdar and Jonnalagedda, 2018;Langer et al, 2012). To achieve competitive advantages it is crucial to manage engineering changes as efficient as possible (Wilberg et al, 2015). Currently, an average of 76% of all stakeholders involved in the development process are also involved in the handling of critical technical changes (Langer et al, 2012).…”

Complex products and shorter development cycles lead to an increasing number of engineering changes. In order to be able to process these changes more effectively and efficiently, this paper develops a description model as a first step towards a data driven approach of processing engineering change requests. The description model is systematically derived from literature using text mining and natural language processing techniques. An example of the application is given by an automated classification based on similarity calculations between new and historic engineering change requests.
