ECR (Engineering Change Request)

Engineering Change Request

Formal proposal to evaluate a potential engineering change before approval.

Examples

  1. 01Production raises an ECR to widen a tolerance on a hole that causes 3 % scrap but has no functional need.
  2. 02The change board reviews each ECR for cost, risk, timing and the effect on parts already approved by the customer.
  3. 03An ECR that is approved becomes an ECO, while a rejected ECR is closed with the reason recorded.
