Abstract
Change in the order requirements usually leads to changes in the production system that tries to meet these requirements. As changes always incur costs and take time, it would be important to be able to estimate the impact of the order requirement changes on the production system. This would facilitate the estimation of the effort and cost needed to accommodate these changes. This paper presents a preliminary method for evaluating the impact of change. The approach utilizes the previously developed capability model and capability matching framework, in order to define, how well the current production system satisfies the new requirements and what needs to be changed. The approach examines the topic from three aspects: the compatibility of the existing production system to the new requirements; the relative effort entailed in making the needed modifications to the system and; the utilization (re-usability) of the existing system for the new requirements. The aim of the approach is to help the decision maker in choosing and prioritizing between different product scenarios, which require changes to the system.
