IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERISTIC OF NECESSARY TASKS IN
IMPLEMENTING ENGINEERING CHANGES IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
ABSTRACT
Background: This chapter is devoted to the identification and characteristic of necessary
tasks of implementing engineering changes in automotive industry. Each engineering change
commissioned by a customer need a specific set of tasks to be implemented successfully
in a company. Engineering changes affect especially these departments in companies:
engineering, production, quality, logistics, warehouse and maintenance. Each task has its own
rank and material scope. Identification and characteristic of necessary tasks of implementing
engineering changes have to include customer specific requirements, industry, engineering
and automotive industry standards. Complete list of tasks is required during planning,
organizing and controlling the process of implementing engineering changes.
Methods: Based on the in-depth interview with experts from different automotive companies
and results from survey let a list of necessary tasks of implementing engineering changes
in automotive companies be created.
Results: The list of necessary tasks of implementing engineering changes in automotive
companies include identification and characteristic of each task. Each task has been allocated
to departments, whose involvement is required for successful implementation of engineering
changes.
Conclusions: Project managers can use the list of necessary tasks of implementing
engineering changes in automotive companies as a type of a check-list. This will provide
project managers with wider view and fuller information during the processes of change

management. Using this list can also be beneficent as a tool to prioritize tasks, because critical
path of necessary tasks of implementing engineering changes in automotive companies,
in most cases does not need all the task to be done before implementation. Some tasks can
be done in less occupied times.
Keywords: engineering changes, change management process, automotive industry.
INTRODUCTION TO IMPLEMENTING THE ENGINEERING CHANGES IN
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
The engineering changes is described in literature as “all kinds of activities aimed at the
process of using the company's available resources to obtain the proposed future state in the
course of negotiations with the client regarding the finished product” [Mikołajczyk 2003].
The engineering change in the product contains many components and does not only affect
management, but also organization, economics, technology, and even psychology and
sociology [Bartnicki 1998]. Change management is a separate, specialized management
method [Clarke 1997].

The scope of engineering changes relates to human resources management, processes
with product and the product itself (fig.1). In automotive company those changes can affect:
Operations (e.g. logistics, production, after-sales)
Product lifecycle management (configuration management, collaboration & disciplines
integration, system engineering, modules & re-use, monitoring):
Local processes & tools (e.g. electrical, software, mechanical, processes, purchasing)

External (e.g. suppliers, partners, subcontractors) [Urban-Galindo and Ripailles 2019.]
Based on literature analysis authors decided that engineering changes term in this chapter
will be understood as activities using company’s resources to fulfil customer needs
by changing and managing whole organization (product, process and people).
The authors, while conducting research using the method of in-depth structured
interviews, noticed that engineering changes require many different activities that are not
always product-related, but may relate to economic aspects in terms of the cost-effectiveness
of introducing a given engineering change. The sociological and psychological knowledge
of managers is also often used during employee training in order to quickly understand the
reasons for introducing a given engineering change by production employees. The scope
of strategic management is not taken directly into account when introducing engineering
changes in products in the automotive industry. However, it is included in negotiations
regarding the scope of implementation of a given change with the client.
Most often, an engineering change in a product is caused by external factors [Wirkus,
Roszkowski, Dostatni and Gierulski 2014]. Mainly in the automotive industry they are
customers who order such a change. Much less often there is a need to implement an
engineering change caused by internal factors, and even then, due to the specificity of the
automotive industry, such a change must be forwarded to the customer whose product the
change concerns. In the process of implementing engineering changes there are three main
stages: design, ordering & configuration and production planning & realization [Buergin et al.
2018]. Each company in automotive industry needs to be able to implement changes in
products. “It is crucial for companies to continuously introduce innovative products and make
variations to existing products to remain competitive in the market” [Rossini 2016]. This
ability is called changeability [ElMaraghy 2009]. There is also flexibility which relates to
implementing changes during assembly processes [Koren 2010]. The rate of product change
requests, based on Volkswagen AG data from 2010 2013 years, grow up by ~300% [Sivri,
Krallmann 2015].
In the general design, there is no specific and formalized template for change request
document, and in another template such document is set by the project team. Any change that
the customer would like to apply should be included in such an application [Wysocki 2005].
The change request itself initiates only the procedure of implementation engineer changes. All
steps of the change management implementation should be controlled. Controlling change
management steps in the project may be as follows:
"Integrated change control (communication with project participants),

Formalized application registration procedure (some independent decision of the
project manager is allowed),
Classification of the application into one of the established categories (external,
internal, other),
Giving opinions on the application (project manager, change control committee,
experts),
Assessment of potential effects of changes (risk, costs, schedule, other consequences),
Assessment of possible solutions (causes, effects and conditions of modification),
Analysis of the impact of changes on the project (timeliness, costs, scope, quality),
Redefining project parameters (based on the analysis of budget deviations, schedule
and scope of work),
Presentation of the results of the analysis of the Change Control Committee
or Steering Committee (approval or rejection of the application),
Implementation and documentation of results (acceptance of modifications for
implementation or registration of rejection).” [Bukłaha 2012].
In the automotive industry, an engineering change is realised in accordance with the
customer requirements. A key document containing a number of information necessary for
making changes in automotive industry is Customer Specific Requirements (CSR). The CSR
document covers only the borders, in which supplier can move to fulfil OEM’s requirements.
CSR documentation does not determine the processes. [CSR: Daimler AG 2017, BMW Group
2017, Ford Motor 2017, General Motors 2019, PSA 2017, Volkswagen 2018, IATF 16949:
2016]. The formalized application registration procedure is recorded in CSR documents. The
material scope of changes in implementation the engineering change in the automotive
industry also consists in determining what elements of the process a given engineering change
will affect. To determine what will be affected in a company usually department managers,
product managers and client delegation need to create all of necessary tasks
for implementation the engineering change. Next step is to ask, for an opinion, all required
departments. This opinion is the basis for making a decision on the acceptance of the request
for engineering change. For changes proposed by the customer that cause increased costs,
the rates for a given finished product may be renegotiated. Solutions most often involve
a change or modification of the machine park, a change in the model design, or a decision
on what to do with the products before the change. After obtaining information on solutions,
company’s management can develop elements based on the potential effects of changes that

will be affected by the change in the product. The results of the analysis can be used
to negotiate with the client to introduce additional entries in the request for engineering
change. Acceptance of the change for implementation causes distribution of tasks
to be performed by all required departments.
The specificity of the automotive industry in the field of implementing engineering
changes is particularly noticeable in terms of the deadlines set for introducing changes and the
speed of achieving satisfactory final results obtained after introducing the change in the scope
of the finished product delivered to the customer.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The main goal of the research is to identify and characterize the necessary tasks related
to engineering changes in the automotive industry. To achieve this goal, the following
research methodology was subordinated. The methodology includes the following steps:
In-depth interview with experts with experience in implementing technical changes
in the automotive industry;
Preparation of the list of tasks, as well as the initial allocation to departments;
Preparation of a survey questionnaire, CAWI research;
Analysis of results of CAWI research,
Preparation of the final list with a brief description.
The first stage of the research was based on in-depth interview with experts with
experience in implementing technical changes in the automotive industry. As a result of the
work, a list of tasks was created, with an initial assignment of tasks to departments and
a specification of the material scope of each task. In the next step, a questionnaire has been
prepared to verify the list of tasks. The research was carried out using the CAWI method. The
list of tasks was verified by managers and senior specialists from the automotive industry
(from tier 1 suppliers, which work directly with OEM companies). Managers and specialists
verified the list of required tasks based on several years of experience in their own
departments involved in the process of implementing engineering changes. Finally, based
on analysis of results of CAWI research, final list has been prepared.

In the following part of this chapter, there are 65 different necessary tasks in
implementing engineering changes in automotive companies identified and characterized.
Each task is also assigned to one of four main departments in automotive industry. Main
departments are: engineering, production, quality and logistics with purchasing. Each of these
tasks were consulted with corresponding chair of department.
Each task must have at least one main department and may need support from auxiliary
departments. Main department is defined as a leader for a task. Auxiliary department can
be asked to conduct certain operations for a selected task, but their role is not significant.
Departments in columns “main departments” and “auxiliary departments” are sorted
in descending order in terms of their degree of involvement in realised tasks.
Material scope of changes can be: product, direct process, indirect process,
organizational change, change of documentation. Material scope of the change during the
implementation of the activity can concern:
product (change of dimensions, functionality, product structure, material),
direct process (technological process of product processing, eg: plastic and thermal
processing, operations and assembly techniques),
indirect process (auxiliary process: transport, quality control, warehouse operations,
product and / or process identification),
organizational change (training, change in the structure of resources, change
of responsibility, work schedule),
change of documentation (development of new documentation, updating the database).
Engineering department is responsible for these tasks (table 1.).

CONCLUSICE REMARKS
Created list of necessary tasks in implementing engineering changes in automotive
companies is a useful tool for managers. This list can take a role of a checklist that can come
in handy for engineering changes management.
In practice of specific company from the automotive industry, both the list of tasks and
the allocation to individual departments may be partly differ. The main reasons for the
differences may be:
specificity of offered products (including their technical complexity),
scope of engineering changes,
various organizational chart and department names.
The aim of the authors of the chapter was to develop a list of largely universal, which can
be adapted to the any conditions of the company from automotive industry.

Zarządzanie zmianą wykorzystywane jest szeroko w zarządzaniu projektami, ponieważ zmiany w projektach, ich celach i produktach cząstkowych już w trakcie trwania projektów są nieuniknione. Wynika to ze stałej zmienności otoczenia, w którym projekty te są realizowane. Na zarządzanie zmianą w projektach składają się procesy identyfikacji i zgłaszania zmian, oceny skutków zmian (w tym skutków ich zaniechania), wdrożenia zmian, a także kontroli i monitorowania zmian. Zarządzanie zmianami w projekcie ma na celu przewidywanie oraz zapobieganie lub łagodzenie negatywnych skutków zmian, pozwala także zdecydować, które zmiany są konieczne, a które nie, oraz które z zatwierdzonych zmian są najważniejsze, dzięki czemu możliwe jest utrzymanie uzasadnienia biznesowego projektu, pomimo zmieniających się warunków w jego otoczeniu.

Purpose: A survey has been carried out among Italian car makers, suppliers, and customers to identify the potential changes that the traditional Italian automotive supply chain would need for the introduction of electric vehicles. In addition, this study investigates the degree of importance that enterprises attribute to the electric vehicle market and their perceptions about the development of this market, also evaluating which types of electric vehicles and body styles are receiving the most relevant investment. Design/methodology/approach: An empirical investigation has been carried out to examine the above-mentioned aspects. Data have been collected through an on-line survey and analysed by a descriptive statistical analysis, confirmatory factors analysis, and cluster analyses. Findings: Market penetration of electric vehicles is mainly influenced by technological choices of car makers and battery manufacturers and by the ability to organize and manage the integrated actions of stakeholders, also including component suppliers, and manufacturers of vehicle management systems. Stakeholders have to exploit economies of scale, to make use and expand long-time competencies in electric engineering with automotive know-how, and to build up cooperation with experts in the new value chain to facilitate the required transfer of know-how. Alliances and joint ventures can provide manufacturers access to the know-how, technology, and production capacity of battery suppliers. Outsourcing, especially as regards research and development, will occur even more frequently in the near future. An agile supply chain should be adopted to manage a fluctuating market demand. Originality/value: This preliminary study contributes to provide an outlook of some of the most important changes that traditional Italian automotive supply chain would need to promote the introduction of electric vehicles and their critical components with an emphasis on production aspects.

The following paper extends the literature of process-oriented knowledge management. It describes the continuous increase of complexity within the product change management of the automotive industry (e.g. variety of products, globally positioned production sites, dynamic customer needs and regulations). This environment combined with less process-oriented systems requires an intense practice of experience-based knowledge that is not available to everyone at all times and thus leads to reduced project performance. Furthermore, it illustrates a new procedural understanding of knowledge activities and its application within a project at a German car manufacturer (Volkswagen AG). The application of this understanding in response to the challenges is accomplished by systems engineering. The result is an ergonomically created product change management system with decreasing need for experience-based knowledge, evolutional character, increased process quality and reduced processing times.

The demand for flexibility in the configuration of highly customized capital goods such as aircrafts is rising. Customers request specifying product options later than required by the currently defined order fulfilment process of the OEM. However, late changes of previously configured products can cause disturbances in global production networks. In this paper, a modular-based approach is presented, allowing customers to specify options just-in-time depending on the respective lead times following an Engineer/Order-to-order (EOTO) strategy. The concept of Just-In-Time Specification with its respective phases of order specification and steps of production planning is described and applied to the aircraft manufacturing industry.

The concrete tools manufacturing enterprises need to thrive in today's global environment. For a manufacturing enterprise to succeed in this current volatile economic environment, a revolution is needed in restructuring its three main components: product design, manufacturing, and business model. The Global Manufacturing Revolution is the first book to focus on these issues. Based on the author's long-standing course work at the University of Michigan, this unique volume proposes new technologies and new business strategies that can increase an enterprise's speed of responsiveness to volatile markets, as well as enhance the integration of its own engineering and business. Introduced here are innovations to the entire manufacturing culture: An original approach to the analysis of manufacturing paradigms. Suggested methods for developing creativity in product design. A quantitative analysis of manufacturing system configurations. A new manufacturing "reconfigurable" paradigm, in which the speed of responsiveness is the prime business goal. An original approach to using information technology for workforce empowerment. The book also offers analysis and original models of previous manufacturing paradigms' technical and business dimensions-including mass production and mass customization-in order to fully explain the current revolution in global manufacturing enterprises. In addition, 200 original illustrations and pictures help to clarify the topics. Globalization is creating both opportunities and challenges for companies that manufacture durable goods. The tools, theories, and case studies in this volume will be invaluable to engineers pursuing leadership careers in the manufacturing industry, as well as to leaders of global enterprises and business students who are motivated to lead manufacturing enterprises and ensure their growth.

a b s t r a c t This paper explains the rationale for the development of reconfigurable manufacturing systems, which possess the advantages both of dedicated lines and of flexible systems. The paper defines the core characteristics and design principles of reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) and describes the structure recommended for practical RMS with RMS core characteristics. After that, a rigorous mathematical method is introduced for designing RMS with this recommended structure. An example is provided to demonstrate how this RMS design method is used. The paper concludes with a discussion of reconfigurable assembly systems.
