Change Control Software

The Change Control Software Change.Net is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of all change processes in your company and ensure that modifications made to products, machines, or processes are conducted in a controlled, coordinated, and cost-efficient manner. Any previously implemented changes are fully retraceable and can be used as future knowledge base. By using Change.Net, you can simultaneously reap the benefits of innovations and minimize the risks involved in change processes.

Because change processes often bring together the most diverse departments and responsibilities, the fully flexible application of our software begins right with the freely definable workflow. An intelligent and dynamic matrix is applied in order to determine well in advance which parties must participate in the change process. This means that a clear overview of those departments and persons who are directly or indirectly part of the change workflow can be put together right in the initial planning phase. Only after the individual departments have provided their assessments and been able to bring forward possible objections, does the actual change process commence.

Because many changes differ only due to minute details, the template management in our software allows you to use previous change workflows as templates for new product or process changes. Previously conducted research, consultations, or risk analyses can thereby be adopted directly from the previous change. If, for instance, a specific product of a product family was already changed in the past, the corresponding technical characteristics (e.g. identical materials or production steps) can be retrieved via the template and are available right in the initial planning stage of the change. The software also facilitates access to a central knowledge database that contains all previously executed changes and affiliated change details.

Individual change processes can be linked with any number or type of article, article group, process, or similar entity in a cross-modular manner. The resulting synergies actively prevent excess work and facilitate a lean and effective workflow within the management system. The same applies for individual actions, which – at the push of a button – can be combined with other entities such as documents, inspection plans, risk analyses, FMEAs, or audits.

Thanks to its scalable and flexible structure, the software Change.Net allows you to execute and monitor changes of any shape and size. The actual scope of a change is only determined by the desired number of allocated departments and workflow-steps. This means that when working with the software, it is irrelevant whether the change only deals with a minute detail or, for instance, addresses the modification of an entire production facility. The software always provides users with the complete arsenal of change management – including control processes and action tracking. This means that you can determine all individual steps and responsibilities that are to be utilized in a case-by-case fashion.

The actions you create in the Change Control Software Change.Net can be delegated to specific departments which can then independently appoint their own internal levels of responsibility. After actions have been created and delegated, they can be precisely monitored via the software’s action and escalation management. It ensures an uninterrupted flow of information, facilitates effective processes, and provides you with everything you need for sophisticated change management.
