Abstract

Currently, numerous approaches on how to cope with engineering changes exist in form of complex Engineering Change Management (ECM) systems. However, startups and small companies have difficulties implementing these systems due to the lack of flexibility and agility—in addition to financial aspects. A trend mostly used within Software Development to cope with fast changing environments is agile development. However, while transferring agile frameworks into the development of mechatronic systems new challenges on managing Engineering Changes arise. The approach proposed in this paper aims to manage Engineering Changes within an agile framework providing decision support for three different situations in which changes can occur.
