Abstract
This paper aims to reveal the development of design rework effort estimation by an analogy based framework. Design rework is focused in the repetion effort due to the interactions among subsystems or components within a considered system. Factors influence on design reworks are synthesised to be drivers impact on probility of occurence and effort required to resolve design rework issues both of which are verifiied by three industrial case studies. An Analogy based estimation approach is applied to develop a design rework effort estimation framework. The framework is practiced on the water pump development project from an engine manufacturer. The ultimate goal of this development is to develop a framework to estimate for extra time and effort required in the product development projects in the early stage of product development planning.
