Story
Inside Volkswagen, change control used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of Germany. Engineering and quality needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Volkswagen uses Tecnomatix from Siemens Digital Industries Software as the working layer for product lifecycle data. Siemens Digital Industries Software offers PLM, CAD, simulation, and low-code tools that connect product design to the factory. 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 Volkswagen gets from Siemens Digital Industries Software 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.
