Change Impact
“While companies of all classifications are removing inefficiencies and increasing coordination internally, the Best-in-Class stand apart by improving change management decision-making processes. These companies recognize the fact that even a small change can have a large “ripple effect” on downstream processes and even the supply chain at large.”

Best-in-Class Performance for Engineering Change Management
Aberdeen used six key performance criteria to distinguish Best-in-Class companies. Best-in-Class companies enjoy significant performance advantages over their competitors, including: • Meeting change deadline targets 96% of the time • Achieving design project budgets 94% of the time • Concurrently achieving product performance 99% of the time and quality objectives 98% of the time
To put the performance gap into perspective, the Best-in-Class are 55% more likely than Industry Average companies to hit target deadlines for implementing changes and 2.8 times as likely as Laggards to hit these same targets. These companies are clearly performing better in regards to efficiency, but the Best-in-Class approach involves more than just streamlining tasks.

Recommendations:
Best-in-Class performance and improve decision-making in change management, manufacturers must address the four fundamentals of Best-in-Class change management:
– Get the right supporting product data to the right people in a timely manner
– Formally analyze the impact of change on the product across the lifecycle and the supply chain, including technical and commercial considerations
– Collaborate visually about product change with visualization and virtual meeting technology
– Develop and execute formal change implementation plans to put the decision into action
