Module Highlights: Document Control
The Document Control module from
Grand Avenue Software manages the change and deviation processes for
controlled documents. Important aspects of the Document Control process
include submission, assessment of business impacts due to the change,
review and approval, and implementation/rollout of the approved changes.
The Grand Avenue Software Document Control module automates and manages
all these activities and tasks.
Screen Capture: Document Control
The screen capture of the
Document Control application shows a new change request as it is moving
through the change management process. This particular change is to a
product called the Super Mover 2004, a wheel chair. The change shown in
the screen capture includes two documents (drawing and bill of
materials). Additionally, three change impacts have been identified
(design validation, regulatory and risk analysis) and have been
investigated for this particular change. These appear in the Change
Impacts section of the electronic change order form.

change requests
