Configuration Management Software

Managing Configuration Management is Complex

Sure, you may only make one product, but often that product has different variations, depending on who your customer is. The product is “the same, but a bit different”.

Managing these differences, tracking the requirements, conveying it to the manufacturing and support teams, adds a whole level of complexity into a manufacturing environment that is accustomed to making the same thing repeatedly.

Optimizing your Product Development Process with Collaborative Change Management

Managing and communicating is a core challenge for any company that makes products. It needs to be done in a clear, collaborative, and transparent manner―but ever-increasing complexity makes this process exponentially more difficult.

In Aras Innovator, product change histories are automatically captured and recorded as part of the product development, further building out the product’s digital thread.

Getting the Most Out of Your Product Configurations with Effectivity

Effectivity services on the Aras Innovator platform enable managing effectivity on different product structures. Managing effectivity on the part BOM is the most common case, and the product engineering application incorporates effectivity as part of its comprehensive BOM configuration management software capabilities. The most effective approach to manage the product data is to have a single, overloaded structure that consolidates the common content and identifies the differences by use of effectivity.

Variant Management

Managing options and variables is essential to controlling differences from one design to the next. Aras is built to help you do that and communicate it through the value stream.
