Even the best technical design has some scope for error, defect, or improvement which gives rise to the need for corrective measures. To ensure sound product development and a sustainable modification life-cycle, an Engineering Change Order is a crucial document. Quite literally, it gets all the stakeholders on the same page and helps choose the most conclusive approach to bring about the changes.
Flatworld is an ECO engineering change order service providing company that specializes in higher-order change management of products, components, assemblies, and manufacturing processes. Our team combines experts from technical, finance, consulting, and management backgrounds to offer the most accurate and effective engineering change solutions. If widespread experience and unrivaled expertise are what you are looking for, you are at the right place.
Our Engineering Change Order Services
A product that is already on the market could be rejected by the masses for its unreasonable price, unfamiliar make, or uncompelling features. A product that is still in the design or production process can prove to be unsustainable or unstandardized. Regardless of the position of the product in its life cycle, Flatworld specializes in finding the core of the problem and brings it to resolution through our engineering change order services.
Design and Model Changes
These changes are required when serious redesign and refurbishing of the product is required. This includes correcting defects, enhancing functionality, upgrading models, and much more.
Component Replacement
Right from inspection of the component and procurement of a replacement to all the ancillary product modifications that will be required to fit the replaced component, we cover every aspect of component changes.
Procurement and Typography Changes
These include the kind of changes that have nothing to do with the product itself but can have a great impact on costs, sales, marketing, and other factors. Our network integrates an expansive range of technical components suppliers from across the globe while our procurement team ensures inventory management and agreement negotiations.
Cost Reduction Changes
These changes encompass approaches that include reducing material costs by fixing procurement, reducing or replacing materials to reduce costs, and optimizing machinery and equipment to maximize productivity, among others.
Under the above-discussed brackets, our engineering change order service providing company curates end-to-end solutions by leveraging the following specialized services
Identifying Scope for Equipment Redesign/Remodeling
Identifying the underlying problem may be the first step, but identifying the scope and extent of improvements required is the second, and the most important step in engineering change management. Our experts specialize in developing corrective plans for redesigning and remodeling products.
Identifying Problems with Manufacturing Processes
At Flatworld, we understand that it's not always the product. The cause of substandard products, wastage, or prodigality could be within the manufacturing process. We specialize in conducting a thorough evaluation to identify and resolve the same.
ECR, ECO, and ECN development
The transition between these three documents is crucial to the entire engineering change management process. With a forthright approach, we ensure every single factor that is affected directly or indirectly by the change is taken into account while developing these documents.
Data and Product Lifecycle Management
The better the tools, the greater the precision. The secret to our unparalleled success rate is our expertise with tools like SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, Inventor Vault, and Team Center that helps us manage data and product lifecycle with ease and accuracy.
Getting Approval from Correspondence and Legal Compliance
Our entire work methodology is highly iterative, meaning that, at every step of the process we ensure each stakeholder is taken into the loop. This involves taking approval from all the technicians, designers, and legal authorities concerned.
Outsourcing Components for Replacement
We take pride in being a complete engineering change order service provider and therefore, manage all outsourcing and procurement needs for the entire change process in the most cost-effective manner.
Our Engineering Change Order Process
Irrespective of the industry, domain, or nature of changes required, engineering change management predominantly works around developing three documents - ECR, ECO, and the ECN. From identifying the problem at the grass-root level to providing complete support during execution, here's a step-by-step break-up of how we operate
Identifying the Problem
We conduct a high-level assessment of the product/process to identify the areas that require changes. Our team also determines the extent of change and the approach of correction/ replacement
Developing an ECR
An Engineering Change Request is raised to assist the change execution. Herein we list all stakeholders involved, resources needed, costs, benefits, and risks
Review and Approval of ECR
Our sitting review committee assesses the challenge in tandem with the engineers on the client execution side. Through this iterative process, we reach a consensus on the final executable approach
Developing an ECO
We combine the modifications approved in the previous step with BOMs, task lists, technical designs, and other detailed particulars in an Engineering Change Order that equips the final execution
Review and Approval of ECO
This step is for the final ECO draft to be double-checked for all factors one last time and get approval from the senior management
Drafting and Circulating the ECN
Finally, we raise the Engineering Change Notice that is meant to intimate all stakeholders of the changes and the corresponding time slots. We make sure everyone is prepared in time
Execution Support
Throughout the change implementation process, our team is on stand-by for any assistance - technical or communicative - as and when required
