Modelling of Change Propagation to Support the Project Management of a Large-Scale Engineering System

This research aims to support the engineering change management for a large scale engineering system from the perspective of project management. To achieve the goal, we suggests a method to systemize the tacit process of the skilled managers by using a network-based information model. The model assumed that the direction of the propagation is changeable by engineer's decision. It enables to explore various propagation paths in accordance with the current project status. The explored paths are evaluated from the project management perspective. Although further study requires, we verified the effectiveness of the proposed method on a case study of an FPSO.
