Change control, sometimes referred to as change management, is an essential part of a complete quality management solution. Change control can be centralized in one system that leverages a harmonized process to manage all changes across the enterprise, including changes to operational processes, IT (hardware), software applications, engineering, facility maintenance, equipment validation, protocol, documents, training requirements and more.

When implemented and managed successfully, an automated change control solution improves cycle time and time to market, supports global supply chain initiatives, enhances product quality and the flexibility to adapt to changing regulations and, in turn, reduces operational cost. This webcast will also discuss the differences as well as integration points between change control and document management and how integrating these processes can result in an even more efficient quality system.
