Abstract
Due to changing customer demand and development of new technologies, manufacturing companies have to implement engineering changes in manufacturing systems. Planning and control of these engineering changes is a key task for the company because of the involved costs and time exposure. To improve the organization of several engineering changes in manufacturing systems, methods of production planning and control are evaluated which can support the planning and control of engineering changes.The purpose of the paper is to introduce existing methods for production planning and control in the planning and control of engineering changes in manufacturing systems. In the first step, the tasks of production planning and control and tasks for the implementation of engineering changes are listed. The handling of several parallel engineering changes is of particular importance. The tasks required for pre-selection, detailed planning and control of engineering changes are analyzed. In the second step, these tasks are compared with tasks from the production planning and control on similarities. Furthermore, methods to support these tasks will be considered. In the third step, methods are exemplarily investigated to requirements and usability for the implementation of engineering changes.With the Support of engineering changes in manufacturing systems by production planning and control method, proven existing methods can enhance the engineering changes. Knowledge about relationships in manufacturing systems can be transferred from production planning and control and optimize the implementation of engineering changes.
