What is Change and Configuration Management?
Product Needs• Opportunities• Enhancements • Problems • Deviations and Waivers
Change & Configuration Management
© 2010 PTC
An orderly process for evolving a product including its data and associated process information from conception to retirement
INPUTS OUTPUTS
Product Data• Parts, Assemblies, Structures• Product Configurations• Product Documentation• Design Data• Product Requirements• Manufacturing Process Plans
Work Instructions, Resources
New Approved Product Data• Parts, Assemblies, Structures• Product Configurations• Product Documentation• Design Data• Product Requirements• Manufacturing Process Plans
Work Instructions, Resources
Change History• Audit & Traceability• Verification

Multiple Trends Affect Change and Configuration Management
PRESSURES BUSINESS IMPACT
• Demand for more tailored products More product configurations / options to manage, more complicated change impact
• Fierce global competition Shorter development cycles, need to accommodate changes faster
• Growth in global outsourcing Need to effectively coordinate more participants in product development
• Increase in product complexity Multiple authoring tools used, so data must be managed across disparate information systems
• Increase in regulations Need to adapt products for compliance
Takeaway: Take Control of Change to Stay Competitive
