Engineering Change
The Engineering Change application functions in its own self-contained files until an engineering change is accepted and approved for the manufacturing function.
The tracking of a change order within this application begins with a change request format, moves the request through a series of maintenance functions to change components, and routings - then finally to an acceptance stage to transfer data from the engineering change files to the manufacturing files. Any pending changes will be flagged to the user throughout the system for timely, accurate decision making.
Specific features of the Engineering Change application include:
- Engineering change request maintenance including unlimited text
- Engineering change order maintenance including parent and component changes, routing changes, affectivity date control, and unlimited text
- Engineering change order acceptance
- Engineering change history with inquiry and reports
