Abstract
In recent decades a multiplicity of evaluation methods were developed, nevertheless, those methods are used little or not at all in the automotive industry. Hence, this paper should give a best possible holistic overview about existing methods for determining changeability and to show their strengths and weaknesses. Afterwards research potentialities are pointed out and based on them an approach of a new method for the evaluation of changeability will be introduced This new method based on the approach of multi-criteria evaluation.
