The basis for your effective and efficient product development is professionally and technically consistent documentation of product data, processes and methods. Only those who have and maintain an overview can make good decisions for their products and organization.
Configuration Management (CM) describes all development steps across the entire Product Lifecycle Management (PLM): from conception to delivery, change management, disposal and recycling. CM knows the current construction status of your products at all times. With CM, you provide the required data in a timely manner and compliance with legal requirements.
Are your processes and workflows smart and consistent? Are you ready for Industry 4.0, Internet of Things (IoT), predictive maintenance, model-based system engineering (MBSE), etc.?
I support you with assessment, consulting and training in configuration management.

CM Assessment
Together we will determine the current status of your data, method and process documentation. I will show you the necessary steps for complete configuration management and present you with the return on investment (ROI).

We will address the following questions:

Which CM processes already exist?

Which CM processes need to be supplemented or rebuilt?

After the assessment, you will have a clear picture of the effort and benefits of all measures.

I provide comprehensive support to medium-sized and large companies in the analysis and integration of CM processes and in the introduction of PLM systems.
With the rapidly advancing digital transformation in the economy, topics such as IoT, predictive maintenance, digital twin and much more are part of everyday life.
