OPERATIONAL CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Operational change management for every site, process and supplier.
A new picking process. A new shift pattern. A replacement production line. A new carrier. Operational changes carry real risk to safety, service and margin, yet most are agreed on a call and recorded nowhere.
ChangeGate puts every operational change through one governed lifecycle, linked to the sites, equipment and systems it touches, with the evidence your customers and auditors ask for built in.
One system for business, operational and IT change. Live in days, not months.
Operations
What operational teams run through ChangeGate.
Processes
Picking, packing, receiving, inspection and quality checks.
Equipment
New lines, conveyors, vehicles and handling equipment.
Sites
Layout and racking changes, opening or closing a site.
People and shifts
Shift patterns, staffing models and new ways of working.
Suppliers and carriers
Onboarding, switching and exiting.
Operational systems
Warehouse, transport and planning system go-lives.
Control
Control before go‑live, proof after it.
Risk before go-live
Every change scored on a 5x5 grid, with each risk owned and actioned.
Linked to what it touches
Sites, equipment, systems and services, through a lightweight asset register.
Approved by the right function
Health and safety, quality, finance or IT approve the changes that touch their area.
Freeze windows
Protect peak season and customer-mandated freezes.
An emergency route
Urgent changes go ahead at once with a senior sponsor’s confirmation, and are booked into a retrospective CAB automatically.
Hypercare and review
A set watch period after go-live, then a review of what worked and what it cost.
One calendar for every site
Every change, CAB session, deadline and freeze window, weeks ahead.
Accreditations
The evidence your accreditations ask for.
Quality, safety and information security standards ask the same of change: plan it, assess the risk, authorise it and keep the record. Many customer contracts add change rules of their own. ChangeGate produces the records all of them look for, as a by-product of the work.
ISO 9001
Clauses 6.3 and 8.5.6: changes planned, reviewed and authorised, with the records kept.
ISO 45001
Clause 8.1.3: planned changes that affect health and safety are controlled.
ISO 27001 and TISAX
Changes to information systems assessed, approved, tested and recorded.
ChangeGate is not a certification body and does not guarantee audit outcomes. It gives you the evidence your auditor asks for.
Go-live readiness
Go-lives that are ready, not just on time.
Large operational changes fail when the system is ready and the operation is not. Group the changes behind a go-live under one programme, have named people sign each gate, and see the load on each function before the date arrives. Training by area is one of the required checks, so readiness is recorded rather than assumed.
One system
Operational, business and IT change in one system.
Operational changes rarely stay in one lane. A new carrier needs a contract change; a new warehouse system changes the processes around it. ChangeGate runs all three kinds through the same lifecycle, the same register and the same audit trail, on one calendar.
Business change
Pricing, policy, suppliers, structure and services.
