More Information
Summary:Both information and automated production systems (aPS) evolve during their lifetime, e.g. due to changes in requirements and infrastructure. In order to estimate maintenance effort in information systems the KAMP method is applied. This paper discusses the necessary classification of changes as a prerequisite to apply such a method. Aggravating aPS consist not only of software but also include mechanics and electric/automation hardware. Therefore, the classification has to be enlarged to a multi-disciplinary one. The limitations of this approach for aPS are discussed in detail and demonstrated using three scenarios of a lab size pick and place unit. The paper closes delivering first ideas to cope with these.
