For this reason, normal practice is to apply minor developments internally or upgrade equipment as it becomes obsolete to increase their productive capacity and competitiveness at a lower cost. However, the work team, mostly made up of engineers, does not usually have experience in the use of design methodologies but also they are often familiar with the functioning of various design and quality-management tools. This paper presents a clear and simple design methodology that facilitates the development of adaptations to items of equipment that might be considered one-off products. It includes a selection of design tools that are, according to the literature on the subject, the most common and best-known among engineers, and which are also best-suited to the environment of an SME. The design methodology was validated experimentally with the upgrading of a gear-rolling tester installed on the premises of an SME in the sector. The recommended techniques and tools were satisfactory applied opening the possibilities for further application of the methodology in similar machine''s upgrades in the future. 000094543 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000094543 590__ $$a8.568$$b2020 000094543 591__ $$aENGINEERING, INDUSTRIAL$$b4 / 49 = 0.082$$c2020$$dQ1$$eT1 000094543 591__ $$aOPERATIONS RESEARCH & MANAGEMENT SCIENCE$$b2 / 84 = 0.024$$c2020$$dQ1$$eT1 000094543 591__ $$aENGINEERING, MANUFACTURING$$b3 / 50 = 0.06$$c2020$$dQ1$$eT1 000094543 592__ $$a1.909$$b2020 000094543 593__ $$aIndustrial and Manufacturing Engineering$$c2020$$dQ1 000094543 593__ $$aStrategy and Management$$c2020$$dQ1 000094543 593__ $$aManagement Science and Operations Research$$c2020$$dQ1 000094543 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000094543 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-7316-0003$$aSantolaria, Jorge$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000094543 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-4917-8550$$aAcero, Raquel$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000094543 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-7660-3508$$aSierra-Pérez, Jorge$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000094543 7102_ $$15002$$2305$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
