Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Handoffs in change control sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Risk and compliance | E3D is the governed place engineering and quality use for change control |
| Capability | New joiners can see how change control actually runs |
Story
Inside voestalpine, change control used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in materials groups working out of Austria. Engineering and quality needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
voestalpine uses E3D from AVEVA as the working layer for product lifecycle data. AVEVA, part of Schneider Electric, provides industrial software for engineering, operations, and real-time data, including the PI System. The practical change is simple: change control has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What voestalpine gets from AVEVA is a durable place to run change control and a way for engineering and quality to see the same product lifecycle data at the same time.
