Code versioning
Technical change notifications
Easily submit expense requests from the desktop version, the mobile app, or by emailing the receipt to an email alias.
Revisions to the Bill of Materials
Revise components, tasks, component selection criteria, work center information, operation timeframes, in addition to design and CAD files.
Contrast
Examine and contrast all modifications between the production and updated BoMs in a specific ECO section.
Most recent BoM update
The most recent approved Bill of Materials is *always* visible to operators engaged in new manufacturing processes, ensuring there is no ambiguity regarding BoM versions.
BoM revision
Effortlessly update current draft manufacturing orders to incorporate the newly sanctioned BoM with just one click. Meanwhile, existing and active manufacturing orders will continue utilizing the previous BoMs to prevent any interruptions.
Restore
Implement changes to the BoM that are fully traceable and reversible.
Execute rebase
Handle merge conflicts in overlapping ECOs that target the same Bill of Materials. When the production BoM is revised after the ECO is created, effortlessly synchronize the ECO with the updated production BoM with a single click.
Suggestions
Automatically create new ECOs by utilizing feedback from submissions sent to an email alias or directly through Bridge ERP Manufacturing or Shop Floor applications.
Activity Sheet
Operators are permitted to recommend adjustments to the worksheet instructions while production is ongoing. They can incorporate images, PDFs, and Google docs to illustrate their proposed changes.
Files
Store, organize, and oversee design documents within each ECO. Once modifications are made, the updated files are seamlessly integrated into the production BoM. Archived documents are excluded from the BoM but remain retrievable within the ECO.
Project oversight
ECO classification
Oversee and document updates in a project related to the ECO type. Invite appropriate collaborators from various teams to guarantee they *only* observe and support relevant improvements to the BoM.
Significant Events
Create specific project phases (milestones) for every ECO category to oversee progress before executing BoM alterations. These stages can be customized to align with the unique processes of each team.
Authorizations
Request approvals from an assigned approver to avoid mistakes and hasty actions. Approval requests are generated automatically when the ECO transitions to the following stage.
Dialogue
Gather key contributors from various departments for each ECO. Document all suggestions, approvals, and actions in a centralized location to ensure everyone is informed about updates.
Organize activities
Seamlessly arrange scheduled tasks (including assignments, development documents, and meetings) with clear deadlines for team members to effectively manage product revisions.
