Specific Factors

Abstract This paper analyses the engineering change management (EC) process in three engineering companies in Sweden. In the paper, the influence of various company specific factors, such as change leadtime, on the design of the EC process are analysed. The current use of computer support is surveyed and the possibility to apply a modern product data management (PDM) system to support the process is analysed. The paper also presents different strategies for improving the engineering change management process as well as of the product data management systems in order to achieve an optimal process.

Storage Place

Engineering change management (ECM) affect to cost that are generated during the designing and manufacturing process. ECM also affects to the time how fast the product is on market. The changes have to be made quickly and the notifications of the changes have to reach the person who may need the information. Product Data Management (PDM) is the system which is not only storage place for the data; it is a tool which should make ECs faster and more effective. This paper deals with the techniques that are in use to handle the ECs with the help of PDM system.
