Engineering Change Control enforces discipline and management control over modifications to bills of materials and shop floor routings. Component and operation changes pass through an authorization and approval process and are logged into an ECO history database. MRP and other programs retrieve component and routing configurations based on ECO effective dates. ECO numbers can be overridden manually to invoke future or past ECO configurations.
