Ex-ante quantifizierung indirekter änderungskosten: Vorgehen zur entwicklung heuristischer verfahren

Today companies are capable to make precise predictions of engineering change costs incurred in producing departments. But implementing engineering changes is a work-sharing task. Besides production and assembly also non-producing departments are involved in engineering change management processes. Activities performed in those departments lead to indirect process costs of engineering change. Today, there are no valid methods for estimating indirect process costs of engineering change. In this connection particular attention must be paid to indirect process costs of engineering change.
