  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec> <jats:title>Purpose.</jats:title> <jats:p>Agile Production Systems Engineering (PSE) is characterised by parallel and iterative engineering of several disciplines. This multi-view engineering requires capabilities for tracing changes to support configuration management of PSE assets. Yet, traditional model transformation approaches in PSE do not preserve local views and hierarchies on concepts of PSE assets, such as plans and configurations. Thus, tracing multi-view changes to PSE assets is challenging.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Method.</jats:title> <jats:p>Following the Design Science approach, we (i) elicit requirements for tracing multi-view changes to PSE assets from a domain analysis in automotive manufacturing; (ii) introduce and evaluate the <jats:italic>Traceable Multi-view Model Transformation (TMvMT)</jats:italic> process; and (iii) propose the TMvMT pipeline architecture to provide traceable model integration capabilities for agile PSE.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Results.</jats:title> <jats:p>In a feasibility study on robot cell models, we evaluate the TMvMT process and architecture regarding the requirements for traceability compared to traditional approaches.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusion.</jats:title> <jats:p>The proposed TMvMT approach provides traceability of changes in multi-view modelling as a basis through the separation of modelling transformation steps and provision of clear input and output artefacts to achieve traceable configuration management and validation of system designs for production system assets in agile PSE.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
