METHODS OF CHANGE IMPACT ANALYSIS FOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

Abstract During product development, the customer or internal stakeholders initiate changes concerning components functions of a cyber-physical system (CPS). The complexity such CPS causes difficulties in evaluating effects component change. Accordingly, developers need an assistance to quantify impact change on hardware, software, functions, and production processes. Therefore, this paper focuses concepts evaluate component, functional, process contributes its clarification further understanding importance requirements for system. literature review assesses identified methods regarding their objectives, application objects, level automation, relations characteristics. However, pointed out that prediction method from Clarkson et al. (2004) is well-established able
