Manage and assess design change
How manage and assess design change are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Manage and assess design change is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.
Why: With no child occupations seeded, the evaluation relies on the process name and industry lens. 'Manage and assess design change' within automotive manufacturing is inherently information-transformation work, centering on evaluating engineering change orders, analyzing impact data, and updating digital models or documentation. Because this value-producing work is analytical and software-addressable rather than physical assembly, it falls firmly in the digital band at a center value of 0.85.

How the work flows
Trigger: An engineering change request is submitted to address a product defect, regulatory update, or manufacturing constraint.
- Log the engineering change request
- Evaluate technical feasibility and safety implications
- Assess cross-functional impact on cost and supply chain
- Approve or reject the engineering change order
- Update the bill of materials and CAD models
- Release updated specifications to production and suppliers
Outcome: The design change is formally approved, documented in the product data management system, and pushed to manufacturing and suppliers.
