Engineering Change Order (ECO) & Configuration Management Software
SimpleManufacturing™ provides integrated Engineering Change Order (ECO) software and configuration management software designed specifically for manufacturing companies. Manufacturers use ECO management systems to control engineering revisions, manage BOM changes, track approvals, maintain manufacturing compliance, and improve product traceability throughout the production lifecycle.
Integrated engineering change management helps manufacturers reduce production errors, improve communication between engineering and manufacturing, maintain accurate product documentation, and ensure the latest revisions are used on the shop floor. The system integrates directly with Bill of Materials (BOM) management , work order management , document control , inventory management , and manufacturing traceability software .
Why Engineering Change Management Matters
Manufacturing companies rely on controlled engineering changes to maintain product quality, regulatory compliance, inventory accuracy, and production consistency. Without centralized ECO software, manufacturers often struggle with outdated drawings, revision confusion, manual approvals, and poor engineering traceability.
Revision Control
Maintain accurate engineering revisions, drawing history, and manufacturing configuration control.
Approval Workflows
Automate ECO review routing, notifications, approvals, and implementation tracking.
Manufacturing Traceability
Track product changes, affected assemblies, and implementation status across production.
Compliance Management
Maintain complete audit history, electronic approvals, and controlled document access.
BOM Integration
Synchronize engineering changes directly with BOM management and production planning.
Cross-Department Visibility
Improve collaboration between engineering, quality, purchasing, inventory, and manufacturing operations.
