Abstract

This paper provides a review of key publications by industrial and academic researchers relating to the management of engineering change. The review, together with an analysis of currently funded EPSRC contracts, shows that engineering change is predominantly seen as a problem rather than an opportunity. The author concludes that, whilst this viewpoint is understandable, it fails to take into account the driving force that engineering changes provide for incremental product improvement. Further research is required to ascertain the business processes that are required to enable a company to maximize improvements in product design.
