How To Eliminate the Breakdowns in Your Engineering Change Order Process
Announcing a Powerful, New 3-Hour Teleseminar Revealing How to Immediately and Dramatically Improve Your ECO Process Unless you’re delighted with the current state of your ECO process, it’s time to take action. Most ECO processes don’t add nearly the value they could to a manufacturing business. Isn’t it time yours did? Dave Gardner is—for the first time—sharing the secrets of an effective, efficient ECO process for far less than the cost of one month’s Change Control Board meeting time. Companies have paid Dave thousands of dollars to get his assistance with this issue—you can get the inside scoop for a fraction of that cost. "Dave helped us put together a part numbering system and engineering change control process for our start-up company. The system worked very effectively. We were able to get change requests approved and responded to as fully-incorporated ECOs in as little as 2 hours. This sped our product development process and enhanced communication between Engineering and the rest of the company. If you want hard-hitting, impactful advice, listen and learn from Dave Gardner--he knows his stuff." John Higginson Vice President, Product Development What makes his insights valuable? He’s a sought-after expert by manufacturers. Dave has designed and implemented comprehensive systems for a number of different companies and overhauled ineffective systems and processes for many more. "Dave helped us reengineer the engineering change control process for our $100+ million company. The process he inherited was a mess. Change Requests had been backed up for months--nobody could tell me what we had in the backlog. The ECO process was slow, cumbersome and didn't address our essential business needs. My team was frustrated by the "black hole" in Engineering. In 6 weeks, Dave proposed and implemented a solution that made all our complaints go away. This is a testament to his skill in this area as well as indication of just how broken our ECO process was." Robert W. Duncan President and Chief Executive Officer Add to this his pragmatic approach to solving real business issues and challenges and you’ve got someone who can help you and your business raise the bar. Why? A well-designed, coherent process enables a company to focus on the important business issues rather than the irregularities in the business process and process definitions. The primary interface between Engineering and the rest of the manufacturing enterprise lies in your company’s ECO process. If the underlying process is sound, your company’s business execution will be sound. Conversely, if the underlying process is weak, the value-add of this critical business process is greatly diminished. A recent conversation with the Director of Supply Chain Management with one of the world’s largest semiconductor capital equipment manufacturers—an individual with significant experience within corporations as well as with the world’s largest outsource manufacturer—confirmed that the number 1 issue facing outsource manufacturers is the ECO process employed by their client companies—the communication process that bridges the 2 companies. Is this a huge surprise? No. With the strong trend towards outsourcing, it is clear that the ECO process takes on an even more vital role in making the outsourcing relationship work. Is it critical that your company be an outsourcer to benefit from an improved ECO process? No. But, as it is a critical enabling process, it would be wise to address this now before it becomes an issue. Here’s what you’ll learn about during this seminar:
