Track: Engineering Management
Abstract
Engineering change management (ECM) is a very important procedure that enhances the management of the whole life cycle of an engineering change (EC), from its proposal through to its implementation and documentation. However, the success of an EC procedure depends on the amount of focus on the critical areas of the EC project. The purpose of this research to develop an improved ECM framework based on critical success factors of ECM. The study follows through three steps: (i) identify the common focus areas of ECM, (ii) identify, from past empirical studies, the critical success factors for ECM, and (iii) develop an improved framework that incorporates the identified critical success factors for ECM
