Engineering changes are inevitable and might propagate within and across multiple
boundaries. Their management has increasingly become relevant within the …

This research examines higher order design structure matrices as requirements change
modelling tools to predict requirement change propagation through two large-scale industry …

This paper focuses on identifying the reasons for change propagation during the production
phase of the product life cycle. Unlike the traditional change propagation study where the …

Requirements play a critical role in the design process and are important to the project's
success. The design process is iterative, and requirements are constantly changed and …

Software requirements Change Impact Analysis (CIA) is a pivotal process in requirements
engineering (RE) since changes to requirements are inevitable. When a requirement …

Production engineering is crucial for the advancement of our industrial society because the
performance of manufacturing companies depends heavily on the equipment and resources …

This paper presents findings from a study of the evolution of requirements in eight parallel
student semester long design projects. Weekly requirements documents were collected and …

Requirement change propagation, if not managed, may lead to monetary losses or project
failure. The a posteriori tracking of requirement dependencies is a well-established practice …

Engineering changes are unavoidable and occur throughout the lifecycle of products. Due to
the high interconnectivity of engineering products, a single change to one component …

It is important to understand the role that requirements play at each stage in the design
process if educators are to help train effective designers. This knowledge is critical for novice …
