The authors have proposed a formal approach to measure and assess impact of changes on engineering systems. The proposed methodology is based on the use of enterprise modelling approaches and simulation methods to quantify amount of changes and statistical methods to measure them. The method also highlights the importance of customising assessment objectives based on different user groups. Furthermore a case study is discussed to clarify the application of the approach.
