Dashboard measures

  • Active operational records
    Count of all records in the selected workspace.
  • Review queue
    Records at the third stage of the business workflow.
  • Needs attention
    Records with an assigned review requirement.
  • Final-stage records
    Records in the fourth business workflow stage.

Business workflow and operating scope

Connect proposed product or process changes to affected parts, tooling, stock, revision approval and location-level implementation. A drawing revision can affect production before its effective boundary and dependent records are agreed. The system connects impact assessment and engineering approval to serial or revision effectivity, allowing locations to confirm implementation against the same authorised change record.

Operational visibility

  • Engineering change implementation lead time
  • Records requiring review
  • Version and approval status
  • Evidence completeness
  • Access / retention audit

The end-to-end business journey.

From intake to authorised completion, with evidence at each decision.

01

Register the change

Register proposed product or process change.

02

Assess affected records

Assess affected parts, tooling and stock.

03

Approve revision effectivity

Approve revisions and effective serial ranges.

04

Verify implementation

Verify implementation across production locations.

Governance and control

  • Approved records must be version-controlled and immutable except through controlled supersession.
  • Access must follow classification and role permissions.
  • Required evidence must be traceable to source, owner and date.
  • Retention and disposal actions require policy-based controls.
  • Critical changes require review, approval and preserved history.

Accountable roles

Systems and interfaces

  • PLM records
  • ERP parts and stock
  • Controlled drawing repositories

Interface scope, data mapping and testing are agreed for each engagement.

Implementation requirements
PLM and ERP interfaces; controlled drawings; engineering approval authority.

Mobile and tablet access

View approved implementation tasks and capture location evidence through responsive views.

Access approved workflows through the Dalfin mobile app. Device tasks and permissions are confirmed for the deployment.

AI extensions

Summarise supplied impact evidence for an engineering reviewer. Technical release authority remains human controlled.

AI extensions are scoped around the required data, business outcome and review controls.

Engineered with Genesis.

Structured application engineering

Connect requirements, roles, records, workflows and interfaces through the agreed Genesis engineering process.

Controlled changes

Review dependency impact and validation requirements. Context Memory supports governed changes and accepted application revisions.

Deployment and support

Agree customer cloud or on-premises requirements, device access, implementation acceptance and ongoing engineering support.

An example operating scenario

See the process, its exception and the evidence.

An engineering change affects a part and existing stock. The configuration reviewer identifies an unresolved effectivity boundary, the authorised engineer approves the corrected revision and serial range, and each production location records implementation evidence.

What to review

  • A saved end-to-end transaction
  • An exception and its authorised resolution
  • Different operator, approver and reviewer permissions
  • Final records, history and the relevant report

Questions before implementation.

How is this system adapted to our organisation?

Roles, approval authority, business rules, records and reporting are configured around your operating model. Scope definition connects the required business outcome to workflows, interfaces and acceptance criteria.

How are approvals and responsibilities defined?

Operators, reviewers and authorised decision makers have defined responsibilities. Approval limits, exception handling and access permissions are agreed with your business owners and tested against the selected workflows.

Can it connect with our existing systems?

Interface requirements cover your existing business systems, data ownership, mapping and authentication. Connection design and testing form part of the agreed implementation scope.

What will we review in a solution walkthrough?

Start with a relevant business transaction, then review its approvals, an exception, role permissions and final records. Discuss the integrations, reporting and operating requirements that matter to your organisation.
