• Review active ETO orders for engineering changes or documentation issues that could prevent execution.
• Coordinate resolution of drawing, BOM, specification, configuration, and manufacturing-documentation discrepancies.
• Work with Planning and Operations to ensure released engineering information is available when required to support manufacturing.
• Identify changes affecting work already released to production and coordinate appropriate disposition.
• Determine which open orders, components, drawings, BOMs, or production activities may be affected by a proposed engineering change.
• Coordinate material disposition when changes create obsolete, excess, rework, or replacement material requirements.
