INFORMATION MODELS USED TO MANAGE ENGINEERING CHANGE: A REVIEW OF LITERATURE 2005-2010

Engineering change is a significant part of any product development programme. These changes can arise at many points throughout the product life-cycle, resulting in rework which can ripple through different stages of the design process. Managing change processes is thus a critical aspect of any design project, especially in complex design. Through a literature review this paper shows the diversity of information models used by different change management methods proposed in the literature. The papers are discussed and a classification framework for organising these change management approaches is presented.
