Deviation Management

Details

Due to contractual obligations, deviations often occur during the execution of a project: If these are initiated by a contractual partner, they are referred to as change requests. If one party to the contract suffers a loss due to non-compliance with the contract and makes demands as a result of the deviation, this is referred to as a claim.

Both change requests and claims can have major legal, financial, technical, and personnel implications and present promising opportunities or difficult challenges, depending on the position in the contract constellation.

Professional deviation management is needed in order to be able to

  • to be able to implement preventive measures
  • identify critical situations at an early stage and initiate appropriate countermeasures, and 
  • to create a standardized approach for efficient handling of deviations and their effects.
