Direct changeover is the implementation of a new facility, system, process, product or procedure at a point in time. The term implies a major change that is launched all at once as opposed to a more conservative approach such as a phased implementation or parallel run. The following are illustrative examples of a direct changeover.
FacilitiesA firm moves from one office building to another over a weekend.SystemsA bank replaces their trading systems on Sunday night such that the old system is immediately retired and the new system immediately handles all trade volume from Monday morning.ProcessesA telecom firm implements a new workflow for provisioning customer orders. When the change is implemented, all teams are expected to follow the new process.
OperationsA cookie manufacturer replaces its batch production line with a mass manufacturing production line. The same floor space in the factory is used meaning that the line is down for a week. The firm builds stock before the changeover.ToolsA firm mandates that all employees use a new cloud based office productivity platform. They uninstall the current office platform on the day of the launch to ensure people use the new tool.
