Engineering Change Control (ECC)

SYSPRO Engineering Change Control

Objective

To enable users to better manage engineering changes to their products and/or associated data.

The Value of the Engineering Change Control (ECC)

• User-defined workflow replaces traditional paper trail that accompanies product design changes
• Electronic visibility of each step of process
• Electronic notification of new tasks with automatic reminders
• Electronic sign-offs
• On-line or batch archiving of old revisions/releases in XML format
• Prevents changes to ECC controlled BOM without an ECO being raised

Matching SYSPRO to Your Business

• ECC users are associated with a single or group of SYSPRO operators
• Security access control at each step of the process
• Perform every required step, every time
• Know what step of the process an ECO is in, and who is responsible, at a glance
• Full history of the process, electronically
• A single or multiple system defined events can be associated with each step
• Affected part numbers can be locked while ECO is processed
• Existing jobs, purchase orders and sales orders can be locked while ECO is processed
  
• Unlimited notes with secured access
  
• Drawing register retains multiple attachments e.g. drawings, circuit diagrams, CNC programs, etc.
• Archived BOM’s can be retrieved for production
