lifecycle of a product. Each time a new version of a part is introduced, it has impacts on products, BOMs,
routing as well as supply chain.
Organizations must manage the change process across the product, BOMs, supply chain and that is where the
challenge lies. This challenge brings the need for engineering change process to support product owners in
arranging and aligning the communication needed for effectively making a change.
