Engineering Change Control

 

To enable SYSPRO users to better manage engineering changes to products and/or associated data. This change management is achieved through user defined work flow, steps and processes.

 

The Value of Engineering Change Control

• Define workflow to document and control product design changes
• Assign product design tasks to specific users/groups of users
• Transfer tasks between users/groups of users
• Define new task notifications, outstanding task reminders and electronic sign-off
• Control BOM and/or routings maintenance with mandatory Engineering Change Order’s (ECO)
• Optionally prevent creation or maintenance of purchase orders, jobs and sales orders for products on an ECO
• Retrieve previous revisions of BOMs, routings and jobs from archives for production as planned or as built

Matching Engineering Change Control to your business

• Govern revision/release sensitivity at stock code level
• Keep track of product-related data such as drawings, circuit diagrams, CNC programs
• Enforce security and controls in the ECC process
• Govern the ECO cycle using meaningful user-defined status codes
• Define any number of user-defined statuses with associated routings
• Movement between statuses can be automatic or manual
• Trigger an associated event when an ECO is moved into a status
• Identify affected products against an ECO
• Identify existing jobs, purchase orders and sales orders relating to the affected products on the ECO with where-used queries
