Processing change request – An overview

The proposed engineering change is first evaluated by a management committee comprising representatives from engineering, maintenance planning, material planning and production planning, and in certain cases, a representative of the local regulatory authority.

The system displays the change requests selected in the “Select Change Request” page.

You can assign a user-defined status for the change requests and record the decision on whether the engineering change must be executed or not. The decision is taken after an extensive cost benefit analysis and evaluation of the safety and reliability implications.

You can also specify the regulatory authority that has approved the change request, the approval document number, approval date and any comments pertaining to the processing of the change request.

You can also retrieve the MCRs, which are identified as concurrent requirements (for the change requests) in the “Maintenance Change Request” business component, and process them.
