Express Change Management

Express Change Management (CM) complements the CMII and Simple CM as a streamlined approach for Change Management. It is ideal for organizations that may not require all the rigorous steps of the CMII. An Express CM process can work in parallel with CMII and Simple CM processes.
The Express CM provides two types of items to manage changes:

• The Express Engineering Change Order (ECO) is a streamlined authorization and execution of actual Part modification. You can use it for adding, changing, deleting, releasing, and revising Parts and BOMs. The Express ECO uses the Impact Matrix that enables you to visualize and review in a quick way how the modification of a Part will affect other Items in a hierarchy.
• The Express Document Change Order (DCO) is a process specifically defined for managing the modification of Documents and CAD Documents.

A Team is a defined logical group of users in Aras Innovator. For the Express ECO and DCO, the PE solution comes out-of-the-box with one default Product Team, which has the following roles:

• Team
• Team Manager
• Team Member
• Team Guest

Engagement of each role depends on the Express Change item.

An Express Engineering Change Order (ECO) is a quick process of implementing Part and Part BOM relationship changes using the Impact Matrix.

The Product Team roles are engaged in the Express ECO workflow as follows:

• Team Manager is assigned to the Planning activity and responsible for the Impact Analysis of Affected Parts and setting an effective date.
• Team Member is assigned to the Plan Review and Draft Changes activities for reviewing Impact Matrix and making changes to the Affected Parts and BOMs.

In addition to the Product Team, the Express ECO workflow has the following roles:

• An Express ECO Creator is a user who initially created and submitted the Express ECO in the system. This may or may not be the same person as other roles.
• An Express ECO Change Coordinator (Owner) is a person responsible for managing the ECO from start to finish.
• The Configuration Management (CM) group.
• The Change Control Board (CCB) is responsible for review and final approval of an Express ECO.

An Express ECO also traverses between various states during its life cycle depicted in the following figure.

Figure 345. The Express ECO workflow together with the Express ECO life cycle produces the following scenario:

Figure 346.

1. An Aras Innovator user initiates an Express ECO process by creating a new Express ECO. The Creator must review the Express ECO to either:
   
   1. Submit it. A workflow is automatically started to assign tasks and track the changes to the Express ECO.
   2. Cancel it. The Express ECO cannot be restored in the future.
2. The Express ECO enters the Planning activity assigned to the Team Manager. The Team Manager performs an impact analysis and ensures that each Affected Part has an Action set in the Impact Matrix. The Express ECO cannot go to the next activity if its Impact Matrix has any Part with the Item Action cell blank or Review. The Team Manager votes either:
   
   1. Submit to Plan Review if the Express ECO needs a further detailed review by a Team Member. The Express ECO goes to the Plan Review activity.
   2. Start Work if the Express ECO is ready for work. The Express ECO goes to the Draft Changes activity.
3. The Express ECO enters the Plan Review activity assigned to the Team Member. This Team Member must review the Express ECO to vote either:
   
   1. Rework Plan if the Express ECO needs its plan reworked by the Team Manager. The Express ECO goes back to the Planning activity.
   2. Approve Plan if the Express ECO is ready for work. The Express ECO goes to the Draft Changes activity.
4. The Express ECO enters the Draft Changes activity assigned to the Team Member. This Team Member makes changes to the new revisions of Parts and BOMs according to the Express ECO, and, when completed, votes either:
   
   1. Submit to Review if the Express ECO requires the final review by the CCB. The Express ECO goes to the Change Review activity.
   2. Close Change if the Express ECO process is completed and does not require the final review by the CCB. The Express ECO is Released.
5. The Express ECO enters the Change Review activity assigned to the CCB. All the CCB members must conduct the final review of the Express ECO and vote the same decision of either:
   
   1. Rework if the Express ECO needs any further reworking. The Express ECO goes back to the Draft Changes activity.
   2. Approve Changes if the Express ECO process is completed and does not require any further reworking. The Express is ECO Released.
6. Once the Express ECO enters the Close Change activity, it becomes Released. Each Part is automatically updated according to the specified Action.

The following table shows the Express ECO lifecycle states and workflow activities in terms of Roles and Permissions.

The Impact Matrix is a tool for Express Change Management of Parts in Express ECOs. For your review, it can also visualize how the modification of an Affected Part will Impact other Items in a hierarchy. You can manage the change in a quick way using the Impact Matrix accordion toolbar and context menu. The Impact Matrix accordion toolbar displays the following buttons:

Figure 353.

1. Add Item launches the Search dialog – Change Controlled Item to add Affected Parts to the Impact Matrix.
2. Expand All unfolds all the assembly trees.
3. Collapse All folds back all the assembly trees.
4. Refresh shows the latest updates.

The Impact Matrix context menu features:

Figure 354.

• Actions for a Part:
  
  • Add Item launches the Search dialog – Change Controlled Item to add Affected Parts to the Impact Matrix.
  • Delete Row removes the Part from the Impact Matrix.
  • Release performs the initial release of a Part, promoting the Part from the Preliminary state to the Released state.
  • Revise creates a new revision of an existing released Part. The Part will be superseded by a new revision of the Part.
  • Renumber replaces an existing Part with its copy. The existing Part is copied as a new Part, which is assigned a new Part number, and released.
  • Supersede provides a new part number for the original part. The original Part is superseded.
  • Obsolete promotes an existing released or superseded Part to the Obsolete state.
  • Review puts the Part under Review. Action needs to be selected on the Part before the ECO can be processed. The ECO cannot be completed if any Part is under Review.
  • None states that the Part is explicitly not affected or impacted by the change. No action will be taken on the Part. Under certain circumstances, this action may not be allowed if an Affected Item requires this Part to be modified.

• Actions for a BOM relationship of a previously released Part (each selected action will appear in the Relationship Action column of the Impact matrix once the ECO is processed):
  
  • Add Relationship adds another released Part to the BOM of the given released Part.
  • Modify Relationship modifies the existing BOM of the given released Part. You can specify a new quantity and adjust the sequence number of the BOM.
  • Delete Relationship removes the existing BOM from the given affected released Part.

The following procedure explains the main Impact Matrix management features:

1. Open the Express ECO.
2. Click Edit on the Express ECO toolbar.
3. Go to the Impact Matrix accordion tab.
4. Click Add Item on the Impact Matrix accordion toolbar. The Search dialog – Change Controlled Item appears.

5. Search for and select an Affected Part. The selected Affected Part and Parts Impacted by this Part appear in the Impact Matrix tree.

   

   

   Figure 355.

6. Click Expand All on the Impact Matrix toolbar. You can see what Parts in assemblies are Impacted when the given Part is changed. The given Part is always violet-highlighted. The given Part’s Parents are above the Part. The given Part’s Children are below the Part.

   

   

   Figure 356.

7. Right-click the given Part and then click Delete Row. The given Part and its children disappear from the Impact Matrix.

   

   

   Figure 357.

8. Click Save or Done on the Express ECO toolbar to save the changes in the Express ECO.

When reviewing an Express ECO, you must analyze each Affected and Impacted Part to set Action to it. An Express ECO cannot go any further if any Affected or Impacted Part has no Action set. Some Actions may invalidate the Express ECO. The following procedure explains the process of reviewing and setting Actions:

1. Open the Express ECO.
2. Click Edit on the Express ECO toolbar.
3. Go to the Impact Matrix accordion tab.
4. Check whether each Part has an Action.
5. Check set Actions for validity.
6. Right-click a Part and then click the proper Action. For Actions details, refer to Managing the Impact Matrix.
7. Click Save or Done on the Express ECO toolbar to save the changes in the Express ECO.

From the Express ECO view, you can review the current and previous Activities assigned for an Express ECO. You can also vote within an Activity if you have rights. Use the following procedure:

1. Open the Express ECO view.
2. Go to the SignOffs accordion tab.

Figure 358.

3. Click the VOTE NOW link. The Workflow Activity Completion dialog for the Express ECO Activity appears.
4. Use steps 3-5 of the Voting on an Express ECO procedure.

At any point in an Express ECO process, you can use the Completeness Check Results dialog to ensure that the Express ECO has all the required information provided and that each Part has an Action assigned. Using this dialog early avoids resolving errors later during the workflow process when the cause may be more difficult to determine.
There are several ways to access the Completeness Check Results dialog for an Express ECO:

• Go to Contents à Change Management à ECOs, right-click the Express ECO to be checked, and then click Check for Completeness.

Figure 359.

• Open the view of an Express ECO to be checked, on the ExpressECO toolbar, click More, and then click Check for Completeness.

Figure 360. When accessed, the Completeness Check Results dialog shows you checking results:

• If an Express ECO is ready to process, there is the message: “Completeness Check succeeded. Express ECO is ready to move forward.”

Figure 361.

• If an Express ECO is not ready to process, there are issues preventing the Express ECO from completeness and their sources. Make sure to correct each issue.

Figure 362.

Once the Express ECO workflow is completed, you can search for the released Parts and check that they all are Released. When a released Part must be changed to resolve a problem or provide improvement, an Express ECO is created to apply the change, revise the Part, and review the impact of other Affected Parts in an assembly. The following procedure explains the Part revising process:

1. Open the Express ECO.
2. Click Edit on the Express ECO toolbar.
3. Go to the Impact Matrix accordion tab.
4. Click Add Item on the Impact Matrix accordion toolbar. The Search dialog – Change Controlled Item appears.

This section describes the revision of released Parts as an example of processing Parts within an Express ECO.
To process Parts, follow the Express ECO workflow as explained in section Understanding the Express ECO Process and notice how the state of Parts is changing:

1. Submit theExpress ECO. The Changes check mark is automatically set on each Affected Part to indicate that it is under a change process.

Figure 366.

2. Planning. After submission, the Affected Parts are set to the In Change state and are not allowed to be edited, note the red claiming flag.

Figure 367.

3. Change Review. During the review process, the Affected Parts are promoted to the In Review state and a new major revision. No edits are allowed on the original revision.

Figure 368.

4. Close Change. The Express ECO is Released.

Figure 369.

5. The newly revised Parts are Released at the new major Revision.

An Express Document Change Order (DCO) is a quick process for implementing Document and CAD Document changes. You can quickly release a new Document, change, revise, or obsolete an existing Document. In this section, the term Document means an item of both Document and CAD Document ItemTypes.

The Product Team roles are engaged in the DCO workflow as the following:

• Team Manager is assigned to the Planning and Initial Review activities for reviewing Affected Documents and routing DCOs.
• Team Member is assigned to the Draft Changes for making changes to the Affected Documents.

In addition to the Product Team, the Express ECO workflow has the following roles:

• A DCO Creator, is a user who initially created and submitted the DCO in the system. This may or may not be the same person as other roles.
• A DCO Change Coordinator (Owner), is a person responsible for managing the DCO from start to finish.
• The Configuration Management (CM) group.
• The Change Control Board (CCB), is responsible for review and final approval of an MCO.

A DCO traverses between various states during its life cycle depicted in the following figure.

Figure 384. The DCO workflow together with the DCO life cycle produces the following scenario:

Figure 385.

1. Start. An Aras Innovator user initiates a DCO process by creating a new DCO. Once the DCO is saved, a workflow is automatically started to assign tasks and track the changes to it.

2. The Express ECO enters the Planning activity assigned to the Team Manager. The Team Manager reviews the DCO to vote either:
   
   1. Submit to Authors. The DCO is ready for work and goes to the Draft Changes activity.
   2. Cancel. The DCO is cancelled and cannot be restored in the future.
3. The DCO enters the Draft Changes activity assigned to Team Members. These Team Members make changes to the new revisions of Documents according to the DCO, and, when completed, vote:
   
   1. Complete to propagate the DCO to the Initial Review activity.

4. The DCO enters the Initial Review activity assigned to the Team Manager. The Team Manager reviews the DCO and Affected Documents in details to vote either:
   
   1. Full Review if the DCO requires the final review by the CCB. The DCO goes to the Final Review activity.
   2. Fast Approve if the DCO is ready for release. The DCO goes to the Close Change activity.
   3. Rework if the DCO or Affected Documents need any further reworking by the Team Manager. The DCO goes back to the Draft Changes activity.
5. The Express ECO enters the Final Review activity assigned to the CCB. All the CCB members must conduct the final review of the DCO and vote the same decision of either:
   
   1. Approve if the DCO process is completed and does not require any further reworking. The DCO goes to the Close Change activity.
   2. Reject if the DCO needs any further reworking. The DCO goes back to the Draft Changes activity.
6. Once the DCO enters the Close Change activity, it becomes Released. Each Document is automatically released and versioned accordingly.

The following table shows the DCO lifecycle and workflow in terms of Roles and Permissions.

Table 8: The Express DCO lifecycle and workflow activities with corresponding Roles and Permissions

Because a DCO can be used to release, change, revise, or obsolete Affected Documents, the DCO creating process can be conventionally divided into general and specific procedures. This section defines the general steps you should use for creating a DCO.
