Why This Is Needed
Uncontrolled engineering communication creates silent drift. A supplier may change a material, move a screw boss, adjust a tolerance, replace a component, or accept a deviation without the whole team understanding the long-term effect.
What FactoryFrontier Does
- Centralize supplier technical questions and ensure each question has an owner, decision, and record.
- Manage ECO/ECN discussions, deviation requests, temporary approvals, and permanent changes.
- Track issue status across sample, pilot, and production preparation stages.
- Keep documentation aligned after changes: drawings, BOM, CTQ, test plan, packaging, and golden sample notes.
What You Receive
- Supplier technical Q&A log.
- Engineering change and deviation control log.
- Decision record with owners, due dates, and closure status.
- Updated documentation alignment checklist.
