Engineering Change Management in Workshop

Definition:
Engineering change management process of requesting, determining attainability, planning, implementing, and evaluating of changes to a product or system --- In Short ECM can be considered as an alteration in approved configuration of a product related item . The approved configuration of this item move along the product life cycle depending on formal or informal configuration reviews.

Types of Engineering Change:

Modification: Failure of functional or dimensional interchangeability between new part and part affecting safety, behavior and reliability. Amendment: The change that does not match modification characteristics Correction: The change that affects the presentation of information and has no negative part on component definition

Factors Influencing Engineering Change

Competition from Competitors Customer demands to technological improvements Need to fix deficiencies Impact on product performances with expectations Impact on suppliers, sub-contractors and work partners Impact on cost and time Quality improvement

Product Life-cycle management process

Design Change Process

ECM - Process
Engineering Change Request {Planner} A request to evaluate a change to one or more products involving changing parts, assemblies, documentation, or other items belonging to these products or by changing activities necessary to engineer or build these products. Engineering Change Order {Design Team} A request to implement an engineering change, consisting of its planning, design, acceptance, testing, etc, documentation, review and release. Revision in BOM {Manual or Autodesk tool} The necessary components are changed with the change date and need for change specified in it.

PLM\ECN solutions in Flextronics - AGILE

Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process (Agile PLM for Process) enables companies to shorten cycle times, increase sales, lower costs and reduce risks associated with innovation. It has various modules like the Product collaboration and the engineering collaboration which has the centralized data of the product life cycle and its processes.
