Engineering Change Management
Engineering Change Request (ECR) and Order (ECO) Forms
ECR forms, being the primary way to document change requests, contain typically both mandatory and optional data fields. You can create forms, enter data and access any field of the form such as "initiator" or "status" by using Doxoft's integrated electronic form support. The fields can be limited to pull-down menu options, can be extended with variable inputs and even can be locked by user for security purposes. In this way, not only documents and drawings, but the data can be managed and controlled by Doxoft as well. Forms are also totally under revision control.
ECR Process – Workflow
To provide distribution of an ECR or any other document in the review and approval processes without delays, can shorten the general cycle period dramatically. You can create change request workflows -either structured or "ad-hoc"- easily with Doxoft by using drag-drop icons. Doxoft informs you of an incoming workflow document through e-mail and starts the necessary applications such as review, approve, edit or check. You can reveal the bottlenecks in a process through time-triggered warnings. Response and approval threshold, shared tasks, serial and parallel tasks shortens the cycle periods and enables the processes to be audited completely.
ECO Process - Workflow
When ECR process ends, Doxoft validates the approval for change. It activates engineering change order form (ECO) optionally or automatically. Since the process gains pace and is executed under control, the productivity and quality increase.
