Roles in the Engineering Change Order Process

The ECO process involves several people, each of whom fills a role:

The administrator, who sets up the ECO by completing several tasks:

• Setting up the approval routing master.

• Reviewing and modifying the ECO codes.

• Setting up next numbers.

The coordinator, who creates the ECO by completing several tasks:

• Verifying that no prior ECO or ECR exists for this change.

• Entering the ECO.

• Defining the change with a list of affected parent and component items.

• Establishing the new routing instruction operations to implement the ECO.

• Maintaining supplemental details.

• Running the notification program.

The reviewer, who approves or rejects the ECO by completing several tasks:

• Reviewing the ECO after system notification.

• Running reports to obtain information for an individual ECO or a list of open ECOs.

• Searching for outstanding ECOs periodically.

After the reviewer approves the ECO, the coordinator implements it by running the Engineering Change Population program (R30510).
