Customer design change after order to priced, re-released production
We take off your hands: checking what a change hits in stock, orders and work in progress, pricing it and getting the right drawings to the factory.
You get: the effect on stock, orders and work in progress for your managers to approve, a price for the customer, revised drawings and a date the factory can meet.

The problem
Customers change the design after we have started, and we swallow the cost and the delay.
How the steps join up
It starts when: a customer, site or supplier asks for a design change after the order has been accepted.
Show what an engineering change will affect in stock, open orders and work in progress
Your team checks and decides at this step.
Price design revisions and customer changes before work restarts
Flag quotes and orders priced below your margin floor before they go out
Your team checks and decides at this step.
Assemble customer drawing packs checked against the register
Stop the factory making to an out-of-date drawing revision
Build and update the factory production schedule against real capacity
Give customers delivery dates the factory can actually meet
What you end up with: The effect on stock, open orders and work in progress is known, the change is priced before work restarts, revised drawings replace the old ones everywhere and the customer gets a new date.
Who signs it off: Your engineering and production managers approve the change, and the customer accepts the price before work restarts.
What it needs to work
- Bill of materials linked to stock and orders
- Standard rates for rework and lost time

Who it’s for
