The ENOVIA Change Manager role (CHG) enables companies to efficiently define, standardize and execute change management processes across multiple business functions. The process that this role provides is based on a methodology that covers the complete scope of a change from initial concept to final product delivery and release.

The Change Governance application provided by this role enables you to initiate a Change process, such as a Change Request (CR) or a Change Order (CO), while engaging multiple-functional teams to ensure the right people are involved in the assessment and the execution of the change process.

As a Change coordinator of a Change Request, you identify all impacted organizations and assign the relevant impact analysis action to help understand the full impact and effort of the requested change. This will ensure the Change Request is properly analyzed by the relevant functional teams.

Change users have various tools that can help assess the change process:

Impact Analysis:

Using the Impact Analysis tool, the functional teams can easily provide detailed information related to the effort, costs, risks and other essential parameters that help reveal the potential impact of the proposed change. Aggregated values are displayed to give the user the overall impact from all aspects:

Note:

Impact analysis can be duplicated to ease the creation process of similar impacts.

Impacted Items:

The functional teams investigate the impact and effort for their organization. Possible impacted items are added to the Change Request, to help understand what items could possibly be impacted by the change. This will also provide functional leads the ability to navigate the affected items to easily identify their impact across other organization functions (manufacturing, engineering etc.).

Relations:

Using the “Relations” tool, the functional leads can navigate the affected items to easily identify their impact across other organization functions (manufacturing, engineering etc.)

Note:

The same tool “Relations” is also available from the Change Action.
