Change Management
Change management in battery manufacturing covers the structured approach to transitioning people, processes, and equipment through capital projects, process requalifications, supplier switches, and product line introductions. As a leadership skill it requires building a compelling case for change, staging rollouts to protect yield during transition, and actively managing resistance from operators and engineers who carry institutional knowledge of the current process. Leaders who manage change well compress the time between new-standard introduction and full-rate, on-spec production.
