Overview

In the chemical industry, effective requirements management is crucial for safety and compliance. Traditional document-based methods often lead to issues like miscommunication and regulatory risks. This presentation discusses how digital requirements management can revolutionize how engineers define, track, and validate requirements.

Key topics include challenges of traditional methods (disconnected teams, version control issues, compliance risks), digital requirements management features (real-time collaboration, traceability, automation tools), and benefits of a digital approach (accuracy, collaboration, faster approvals). This shift can enhance efficiency and ensure compliance with industry standards.
