Abstract: Today's global competitive market and diverse advancements of technologies force any firms to focus on core business processes to launch their product on time to market. Though there is more literature on engineering changes (ECs), the sufficient frame of reference is not sufficiently developed in terms of its classification. Hence, a brief sorting to help researchers and academicians in understanding ECs from broader outlook is necessary. In this research work, the literature on ECs categorised on the basis of: 1) problematic environment; 2) approach and methodology adopted to improve organisation performance. Total 231 published articles were classified and examined for future research opportunities by using the literature gaps. A timeline representing related papers is also provided to understand ECs relation with respect to product development and operations. To strengthen the research findings and future directions, a case study included related to ECs influence on automotive supply chain.
