Minimize E&O inventory risk resulting from engineering changes
Timing is everything, especially when it comes to engineering change management. Implement too early and you can wind up with obsolete inventory. Implement too late and you can be caught short, unable to meet demand. So how can you determine exactly the right time to make engineering changes?
Test the change before you make it
Kinaxis Engineering Change Management enables you plan and implement smoother transitions for engineering changes, minimizing the risks of having too much old inventory or not enough of the new. Simulate multiple cutover dates to determine the most effective time for the change to be implemented. With the data and insights at your disposal, you can make change decisions with full confidence.
Improved outcomes for your business
- Maximize business opportunities and minimize supply chain disruptions with properly timed changes
- Analyze projected impacts of change with full view of all implementation options
