Change monitoring and management become an unavoidable necessity for companies in order to stay competitive in global market.This requires thorough handling models for change management to attain a systematic approach. In this paper, monitoring models for innovation and changes in manufacturing environments are investigated using two collective intelligence approaches. The first approach is based on a multi agent system designed in a tree-structured, where expert operational agents are strictly organised under sub-chair agents. The second approach uses a swarm intelligence approach, namely bee-colony algorithm to achieve collective intelligence for monitoring innovation and change across the manufacturing companies.
