The requested engineering changes on one product have to be well managed. En-gineering Change Management methods lead to assess impact of these changes and evaluate their propagation effects. A dependency model is needed to assess the change effect on one parameter after changing the value of another one. In this paper we propose a classification of Engineering Change Management meth-ods according to their dependency model: (i) theoretical dependency model and (ii) a posteriori dependency model. Three reference methods are presented in de-tails to explain the differences between these two types of dependency models and their usability according to designer decisions.
