Engineering Change Procedure
Engineering Change Procedure
Supplier note: The ECR, along with supporting documentation is sent to the
supplier for signature to insure that the requested change is feasible and to
allow the supplier to respond with any comments or changes prior to
initiation of the change. If there are no issues, the supplier is to sign page #1
to indicate that the requested change is feasible. Signature of page #1 does
not indicate that the change has been completed nor that the change is
approved for production.
19.Release of the ECN for production will trigger the release of revised
specifications, Parts Tickets, MAI’s, etc. required to implement the change.
Notes:
1. Suppliers must be trained to understand our procedure and that the signature
of the request does not constitute an agreement to make the change nor a
release of the change to production. If the Engineering Change request is
made by a person other than the CCB Coordinator, then the person
originating the request is responsible for obtaining the supplier signature.
2. If hard-copy of supporting documentation accompanies the request, the
Engineering Change Request Form, along with the supporting documentation,
should be scanned into a single .PDF file and placed into Product Center.
3. Product Center can create a hyperlink to place into the notification e-mail
which will take the recipient to the Engineering Change Request within
Product Center. Multiple hyperlinks can be placed into a single notification e-
mail. Notifications should be sent to all standing CCB members and any
additional attendees required by the particular request.
4. It is anticipated that only minor revisions to the original ECR indicating an
additional test or submittal requirement will be necessary and can be
accomplished at the CCB meeting. If more revisions are required, the ECR
should be re-routed and placed on the agenda for the next CCB meeting.
5. Approval of the ECR creating an ECN is not approval to release the change to
production. A specific approval by the CCB to release the change to
production, signifying agreement that all submittal requirements have been
met, is required.
6. The intention to make the change once approved for production should be
communicated to all necessary parties. A minimum distribution list for ECN’s
should include:
