ECR (Engineering Change Request)
Engineering Change Request
Formal proposal to evaluate a potential engineering change before approval.
Examples
- 01Production raises an ECR to widen a tolerance on a hole that causes 3 % scrap but has no functional need.
- 02The change board reviews each ECR for cost, risk, timing and the effect on parts already approved by the customer.
- 03An ECR that is approved becomes an ECO, while a rejected ECR is closed with the reason recorded.
