Your company's ability to manage engineering change efficiently can be the difference between profit and loss. Most automotive companies want to do it well, but few do. By having the tools and information needed to understand the impact of a change earlier in the process you can make better decisions that affect your project’s time, cost, and quality.

Enterprise Data Management is an integral function of a PLM Strategy that facilitates your ability to:

• More Innovation - By spending less time tracking and managing change leaving more time for innovation.
• Faster To Market - By quickly and accurately assessing the impact of change and by processing changes faster.
• Be Compliant - By assessing the impact of a change to overall conformance requirements.
• Get Optimized - By allowing more time to process the impact of a change on manufacturing resources.
• Go Global - By providing your global extended enterprise the information they need to assess the impact of a change, and by providing global change traceability throughout the change implementation.

Change Management is a PLM-based initiative that enables companies to manage formal and informal aspects of change from sourcing-related quotes to engineering and design modifications.

Siemens PLM Software portfolio of PLM solutions provides an integrated platform that supports the entire change process.
