Manufacturing executives want to see development advance from design to manufacturing with few changes. Alas, as executives know all too well, this is a rare occurrence. Modern product development is a collaborative and iterative process, and changes are inevitable.

That's where change management comes into the picture. Executives need a robust system to initiate, review, plan, and execute changes in product design. Effective change management is critical to the product's ultimate success.

An efficient change management process can benefit companies in numerous important ways. Executing changes more quickly enables faster time to market and superior customer service, for example. No matter what their particular needs may be, today's companies benefit from strong change management processes. Lifecycle Insights' research has shown repeatedly that the most progressive companies have the fewest change orders per project.

This eBook will discuss change management in general and highlight how a cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) approach can help companies better tackle it.
