Asahi Kasei, a materials organization in Japan, uses APM from AVEVA to support change control for engineering and quality.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Named workflow replaces ad hoc routing for product lifecycle data |
| Capability | Change control stays visible to adjacent teams through APM |
| Capability | Engineering and quality work from the same APM record for product lifecycle data |
Story
Inside Asahi Kasei, change control used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in materials groups working out of Japan. Engineering and quality needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Asahi Kasei uses APM from AVEVA as the working layer for product lifecycle data. AVEVA, part of Schneider Electric, provides industrial software for engineering, operations, and real-time data, including the PI System. The practical change is simple: change control has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Asahi Kasei gets from AVEVA is a durable place to run change control and a way for engineering and quality to see the same product lifecycle data at the same time.
