Skip to content Transform Your Engineering Change Process with Automated Workflows
Syspro’s Engineering Change Control (ECC) capability empowers manufacturers and distributors to manage product design changes with a faster, smarter digital solution. Replace traditional paper trails with user-defined automated workflows that provide disciplined control over Bill of Materials modifications through advanced product change management.
Because of Syspro, you can maintain complete audit trails essential for ISO certification and other industry-specific compliance frameworks with confidence.
Confidently support ISO certification and other industry-specific compliance frameworks with a comprehensive digital audit trail that documents every change, approval, and modification to your product designs.
Gain intelligent insights into how material and labor changes will impact production costs and pricing before implementation. Make faster, more informed financial decisions to protect your margins.
Replace slow, paper-based change requests with an automated, user-defined digital workflow. Ensure proper authorization at every step and accelerate processing time from weeks to days.
Easily archive and retrieve any previous product revision. Whether you’re manufacturing legacy products, investigating defects, or meeting specific customer requirements, you have a complete, accessible history at your fingertips with BOM version control.
Eliminate manual follow-ups and accelerate your approval process. Automated alerts, task assignments, and reminders keep engineering changes moving forward, ensuring your team stays focused on innovation.
Protect the integrity of your product data. Granular user permissions and status-based authorities prevent unauthorized changes, ensuring only qualified personnel can modify critical design information.
Engineering Change Order (ECO) Workflow Management
Build a change management process that fits your business. Create and manage engineering change orders (ECOs) with customizable status codes and routings that guide changes from initial request to final approval and release through comprehensive product change management capabilities.
Bill of Materials Control
Enforce disciplined BOM modifications where ECC-controlled items can only be changed through an approved ECO, preventing unauthorized and costly alterations with robust BOM version control.
Automated Status Progression and Events
Configure automatic movement between workflow stages with triggered events including email notifications, task assignments, and order locking capabilities.
Revision and Release Level Tracking
Manage product changes with the right level of detail. Track modifications at the stock code, revision, or release level, with support for both major design changes and minor cosmetic updates.
Archiving and Retrieval System
Store and access complete histories of product structures, routings, and jobs with manual or automatic archiving when changes are approved.
User Management and Security
Ensure the right people have the right access. Define engineering users as individuals, departments, or groups with configurable authorities and administrator privileges for workflow override capabilities when needed.
The Bill of Materials module is the foundation for ECC, enabling controlled modifications to product structures and ensuring all BOM changes flow through a disciplined engineering change control process.
Deep integration with Inventory management allows ECC to intelligently control stock items at revision and release levels, managing product versions and ensuring smarter material consumption of older stock first.
Seamlessly integrates with WIP to lock existing work orders when engineering changes are initiated, preventing the production of outdated product versions during the change approval process.
Connects with Sales Orders to proactively identify and lock existing customer orders that may be affected by pending engineering changes, ensuring order accuracy and protecting customer satisfaction.
Links with Purchase Orders to track and manage supplier orders for components impacted by engineering changes, preventing the procurement of obsolete materials and reducing waste.
Integrates with the Quotations module to ensure that your sales quotes always reflect the most current product specifications and pricing, driven by approved engineering changes.
