ABSTRACT:
A system and method for controlling, monitoring and integrating engineering and manufacturing changes in a manufacturing enterprise. The status of an engineering change and the status of items affected by the engineering change are monitored by an engineering change control manager application running at a central data processing facility. The engineering change and design or modification of items affected by the change are released to one or more manufacturing locations where additional design changes may be made to accommodate local manufacturing capabilities. Each manufacturing location accepts the engineering change and the corresponding affected items when ready to proceed with implementation of the engineering change. The affected items are promoted locally at the manufacturing location to effective status which releases the affected items into production at the plant.
