1) ECR
2) ECO
3) ECN
Remember, RON
What is an ECR?
Engineering Change Request
Requests changes to be made to existing BOM components or materials.
Assesses the feasibility or necessity of a change, and then to identify what components will be affected, to estimate costs, and list resources necessary for change.
What is an ECO?
Engineering Change Order
Implementation of the ECR.
Lists all the components, assemblies, documentation, materials, etc., that need to be changed in order to make the overall change.
What is an ECN?
Engineering Change Notification
This is a notification sent to all applicable persons once the engineering change order has be completed.
What is DFM?
Design for manufacturing. Is the process for designing a pcb that is functional, manufacturable, and reliable.
What are the stages of manufacturing?
1) design
2) component purchase
3) kitting up (organizing all components)
4) surface mount technology (production line)
5) Auto insertion (through hole)
6) Manual insertion
7) Wave soldering
8) Final checks
