eco or ecn form
(OP)
hello - our company has recently had problems w/ our eco form as to it being clear in the amount of information
& the responsibility of who or why the eco was created - we have columns for remarks & responsibility but anymore people
are sending out incomplete eco's - the remarks column instead of telling the whole story just simply states "as built"
or something to that effect - would anyone wish to share their forum or have any guidelines as to how their eco or ecn's are handled -
any info would be greatly appreciated - thank you

RE: eco or ecn form
At former aero/defense place we listed out Is/Was for every change to the drawing. Though limited description on the why.
What is Engineering anyway: FAQ1088-1484: In layman terms, what is "engineering"?
RE: eco or ecn form
It has signature fields from eng, to QA, to mngmt, and areas for describing what the changes are.
Also, job number and stock/order dispositions are listed.
Marked-up current released drawings are attached to show what it is and what's changing.
Our ECN form is in PDF format with fields and digital signatures.

Is it the form, or the people?
If the forms are poorly filled out, send them back and get people to fill them out properly. Ultimately, your ECR system is a communication tool. The person generating it has to tell you what is wrong. Anyone adding information to it has to add it clearly and completely. It is no good for people to execute the Generate ECR Procedure.

You need to be able to go back to that ECR in a couple of years and reconstruct what was done. 99.9% of the time you won't need to but when you do it is invaluable.
