Introduction

The MW Engineering Change application supports three distinct types of Engineering Change records and it is acceptable for an environment to activate as many of the three types as desired: 1. Initial Releases ( IR )

2. Change Requests ( ECR/DCR/CR ) 3. Change Notices ( ECN/DCN/CN )

New Part Number Created

• The IR record documents that new part numbers are being published "to the production process" for the first time. Approving the IR record also approves its assigned documents.

IR

• One or more ECR records are created and formally approved or rejected to properly document requested changes against its assigned documents.

• The ECN record documents the changes applied. When the ECN record is approved, the specific REVISION of its assigned documents are also approved. ECN records will frequently have both design records and ECR records assigned to them.
