Communicating changes to plans

[Anonymous]

Management have asked for a process to communicate changes to floor
plans. I'm the cad person at this facility, design, prepares the
construction drawings and maintain/update base cad files. I've been
asked to prepare a process form or some other way to let them know of
changes on the drawings.
Some ideas or feedbacks will be appreciated.

There is a whole process of design change forms and procedures. You can
create a huge paper trail of forms associated with your drawings. A former
acquaintance of mine worked for a company that used no fewer than FIVE forms
for EACH change! All paper clipped to the drawing!

There is a lot of software out there for tracking changes, also. I believe
AutoDesk WorkCenter is one product.

Basically, establish your information needs, make a form, and REQUIRE that
the engineers and architects follow your system. You will get more
cooperation if you ask for their input and make them believe they are
running the show.
