The management of Engineering Changes during a product lifecycle to improve efficiency, quality and profitability in a manufacturing context is always a challenge.
This thesis aims to propose an optimized framework for the handling of the ECRs within an industrial company in the nautical field. This includes the analysis of the current one in use in the company as a benchmark and the proposal of a digital tool to implement into the company daily operations.
The research combined a qualitative approach with survey, feedback and quantitative approach using the real example.
An optimized framework was developed based on the actual one working on the improvement of the weak points highlighted in the analysis. A software for the digital tool was selected and setup to accommodate the workflow described in the framework.
The objectives are achieved, the workflow results to be more structured, with clear role and responsibility and the use of the tool make the use of it more user-friendly and less time-wasting.
