Recently notable enterprise community member Delphi made a significant solution project contribution for everyone interested in CMII configuration & change management.

Like many other organizations, Delphi recognizes that it is quite difficult to get a complete & accurate impact analysis on proposed engineering changes.

What Delphi has done is develop a method for ensuring a thorough change review that includes both a process & algorithm for Affected Items analysis. The method identifies parts, assemblies, documents, tools, and other important items that require review for design change impact.

Delphi was going to patent the method, however, after further consideration they have opted to donate it to the community in the true spirit of openness so that all companies can benefit.

Delphi implemented the method in Aras Innovator as Microsoft enterprise open source making it a valuable free add-on. An additional benefit is that by using Aras the Affected Items Wizard can be used to complement and extend a company’s existing PDM, PLM or ERP system.

Any company that is looking for a better way to manage the change process will recognize how the Delphi contribution results in:

·          A step-by-step way to perform comprehensive change analysis

·          Logs audit trail of decisions made, who made, and when

Check out the Affected Items Wizard and help your company manage changes more effectively.
