  1. Engineering Change Management Systemfor Lincoln Foodservice Products By Duane Yoder October 12, 2006 MSE 7000 Professor Steve Dusseau

  2. Background Information • Educational background • BS Physics • BS Electrical Engineering • Work Experiences • Four years of engineering for Gen Tel of Indiana • Twenty-three years of engineering experience in a manufacturing company (Lincoln FP) • Seventeen years in engineering management

  3. Why this project of Change Management? • My current role on the QAD MFG/PRO ERP implementation team is the PCC Module and Item records • I currently manage the CAD administration and PDMLink implementation • It is one of the hottest issues at Lincoln • The ECO process needs to become Lean

  4. Product Lifecycle Management • Every product goes through a lifecycle • The primary phases of a lifecycle are • Concept • Design • Release • Between each phase is a gate • Concept Approval • Design Approval

  5. Phase-Specific Operations • Submit • Demote • Phase Attributes • Roles • Access Rules Concept Development Design Approval Concept Approval Detail Design Release • Gate-Specific Operations • Promote • Deny • Gate Attributes • Criteria for Promotion Lifecycle Attributes and Operations

  6. Concept Development Design Approval Concept Approval Detail Design Release Basic Lifecycle Affects and Effects Demote Submit Promote Deny Promote

  7. Typical Engineering Change Process

  8. What is an Engineering Change?

  9. What is an Engineering Change? • Change to the Product Structure (BOM) • Adding or deleting a part • Changing the quantity of parts in an assembly • Change to the Part Itself • Change of specifications • Change of approved source • Change of Routing (Steps of Assembly) • Change of processes or sequences

  10. What does an Engineering Change Do? • Changes one or more of the four “F”s • Form • Fit • Function • Fee • The communication of the change is called an ECO, PCO, or ECN

  11. What must the ECO Do? • Tell what to change • Show how to make the change • Tell when to make the change (effectivity) • Tell who makes the change (define tasks) • Show where the change is at (documentation) • Tell why the change is made (reasons)

  12. Where is the biggest gap in the Process? • Effectivity of Change • Engineering uses revision letters • Operations and Manufacturing use dates • Donot use before, do not use after • Other methods • Use to depletion • Serial number • Customer Number • Lot Number

  13. Where is Effectivity Managed at Lincoln? • Engineering - CAD PDMLink Database • Documentation revision control Check-in and Checkout • Promote and Demote • Operations and Manufacturing - MFG/PRO ERP Database • Implementation by dates • Balance inventory • Meet customer demands

  14. One Database or Two? • Engineering - PDMLink • Supports more than just engineering documentation • Change management meets CMII requirements • Configurable workflow and roles for matrix organization • Managed locally • Operations/Manufacturing - MFG/PRO • Operations based for date effectivity • Strong support of operations and business

  15. The Impact of the Gap • Engineering documentation remains in queue while new changes are being implemented. • Fit becomes an issue when new changes are implemented before previous changes are in production. • Historical Engineering records BOMs do not synchronize with production by dates.

  16. PDMLink

  17. PCC

  18. The Solution - PDMLink for ECO Process

  19. PCC for the EPR PCO Implementation

  20. Bridge the Gap between PDMLink & PCC To be automated at a later date As Designed As Manufactured

  21. MFG/PRO and PCC • The incorporation and implementation of changes meet operation needs • Historical records of “As Manufactured” with revision history is always available • Full ERP functionality is maintained with Corporate Office

  22. The Plan

  23. Conclusion: • Where one database is preferred the ability to take advantage of the benefits of both is the next best solution. • Work towards automation and data sharing between the Oracle and Progressive databases. • Design the workflow of PDMLink to follow Lean principles.

  24. Questions & Answers ?
