Abstract/
Summary |
Changes occur at all stages in the product life. This paper presents a methodology to support designers managing changes through the entire lifecycle of a system, by providing them with a means of assessing potential knock-on changes across a system using a series of related product connectivity models. It is centred on the use of the risk-based Change Prediction Method (CPM), which is extended beyond its original use in the design stage of product development to cover all life-stages of a system. Conceptual design is supported by helping designers identify areas in a system that are highly susceptible to change and evaluate solution alternatives. During detail design, this methodology facilitates design freeze planning. Operational life-stages are supported through predicting knock-on effects of environmental changes and upgrades. |
