Engineering changes (ECs) are considered as cost and time
consuming. Based on the understanding of EC as a specific representative of
cycles within development processes, the implementation of ECs is initiated by
a target deviation, which leads to a decision over different alternatives of the
implementation process of the particular EC. This decision is based according
to literature and industrial practices within the field of process design methods
on an expert discussion, without a formalized and explicit consideration of
different change options. This paper presents computational process synthesis
(CPS) as a support for the decision making of change options. The CPS is
embedded within a procedural model for the decision process of ECs. Besides,
this paper presents a case-study, which describes the application of the
presented procedural model as well as the CPS.
