“…Although, in this research, the two companies are competitors, they still have issues in common; among them, the most important issues include satisfying customer demand, promoting innovations, efficient resource allocation, and cost reduction. If change is not handled in an adequate way, there is a possibility that the change process will not achieve the expected objectives [37], and the change request process should be carried out in a transversal way [38].…”

Change and innovation are increasingly exerting a significant influence on the daily activities of companies. To ensure optimal control, innovative solutions are employed that are encapsulated in the concept of change management. In the engineering change sector, the proposed approach involves developing solutions and making continuous adjustments to the manufacturing process to enhance productivity and to meet customer needs. Within the automotive industry, companies utilize innovations and process change management to continuously improve and strengthen their position in the market, such as KPI/KPRS and PCI. To achieve this, the present study gathers real digital data from the Romanian branches of two renowned automotive companies. The data regarding change requests include 215 registrations for the first company and 734 registrations for the second company. By employing complex statistical methods such as ANOVA, Student’s t-test, the Mann–Whitney test, and a regression model, the primary objective of this study is to model and to identify the best predictor of change request status. Additionally, this study aims to explore how this change process influences the economic performances of the companies and the performance indicators of change management in manufacturing processes. The findings indicate that, both in the organizations in general and within the automotive industry, when products experience high demand in the market, the number of change requests increases. This highlights the importance of internal optimization of the automation system. Moreover, the study results underscore the crucial role of an effective smart manufacturing and optimal change management system to uphold and to enhance the economic performance of automotive companies.

“…To meet this requirement, eco-design tools are adopted in product development. However, there are several features revealed about these tools: a great deal of data is required; because they are configured and applied in a stand-alone system, it is not appropriate to integrate the other design software used in the product generation process; and they are generated for various goals, so the heterogeneity among tools is obvious (Hu et al , 2019; Sannö et al , 2015; Vásquez et al , 2018).…”

Purpose This study aims to develop a synthetic knowledge repository consisted of interrelated Web Ontology Language. Design/methodology/approach The ontology composes the main framework to categorize data of product life cycle with eco-design mode (PLC-EDM) and automatically infer specialists’ knowledge for data confirmation, eventually assisting the utilizations and generation of strategies toward decision-making Findings (i) utilization of a novel model with ontology mode for information reuse cross the different eco-design applications; (ii) generation of a sound platform toward life cycle evaluation; and (iii) implementation of the PLC-EDM model along the product generation process. Research limitations/implications It cannot substitute an evaluation tool of life cycle. Certainly, this model does not predict the “target and range” and/or the depiction of the “utility module” that are basic activities in life cycle assessments as characterized through the international organization for standardization regulations. Practical implications As portion of this framework, a prototype Web application is presented which is applied to produce, reuse and verify knowledge of product life cycle. Social implications By counting upon the ontology, the information conducted by the utilization is certainly semantically represented to promote the data sharing among various participants and tools. Besides, the data can be verified against possible faults by inferring over the ontology. Hence, a feasible way to a popular topic in the domain of eco-design applications extension in the industry. Originality/value The goals are: to lean on rigid modeling principles; and to promote the interoperability and diffusion of the ontology toward particular utilization demands.
