Unshackle Product Innovation with Cloudtheapp Engineering Change Module

Cloudtheapp Inc. “A provider of Configurable Quality Management & Regulatory Compliance Software Solutions” is delighted to announce the release of our Engineering Change Module, allowing businesses to digitalize this important quality assurance process.

With general availability in Cloudtheapp Store, our valued customers can download the module free of charge and with a click of a button. The module seamlessly integrates with all other modules in the EQMS solution.

“Organizations in Med-Device, Electrical and Electronic Manufacturing, semiconductors, general manufacturing, and many other industries can benefit from the newly released module. Being able to start from an idea and convert it to an implemented product change while performing the whole process in a fully digitalized and integrated way is a climactic scene”, said Wael Zebdeh, CTO of Cloudtheapp. “With the release of our new Engineering Change module, organizations can be in a desirable position of control to manage product release and improvements holistically and in a compliant way. Our newly released module encapsulates industry best practice recipes around ECR, ECO, TDN, DCN, and ECN processes, and presents them in a digital format on the cloud that is fully integrated and compliant.”

With Cloudtheapp, Engineering Change will not be disintegrated from your EQMS anymore. We help our customers unlock the gate of digitally possible with the release of the new module! The Engineering Change processes have never been easier to manage. Cross-Functional Teams can work closely on identifying Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), get them approved by Change Review Board, assess the impact, and prioritize them to create a pool of prioritized requests that would feed the Engineering Change Order process (ECO). ECOs go through a digital journey before a change gets finally implemented on the affected part, assembly or the finished good. The journey includes many steps and milestones, like investigation, solution design, verification and validation, design documentation, disposition, approval, notification, and implementation. ECO automatically triggers the Engineering Change Notice (ECN) process to notify internal and external stakeholders (like contract manufacturers and suppliers) before the change gets finally implemented and before the starting serial number gets tracked for the change.

“Engineering Change Management is one of the most critical processes in any design and manufacturing business. It has a significant impact on internal and external stakeholders viz. Customers, Suppliers, Employees, and potentially even the cost of the product. Effective implementation of engineering change requires active participation and contribution from many stakeholders in the business. Key stakeholders are – Engineering, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, and purchasing with optional participation from finance, and product manager.

Major risks which need to be mitigated during an engineering change are:

• Safety
• Quality
• Product Cost impact
• Regulatory Compliance
• Cycle time impact
• Manufacturability and Testability impact
• Parts availability

Effective and successful implementation of engineering change enables seamless communication within and outside the business, driving significantly enhanced Cx, reduced internal and external failures and better operational efficiency.” said Suhas Deshpande, Principal Solution Architect at Innoventive Business Solutions.

Engineering Change activities that are carried out frequently would result in valuable data, and with the power of Cloudtheapp’s integrated real-time analytics, organizations have the chance to drill down on this data visually to recognize trends and patterns and make important decisions that enhance the quality and strengthen the product’s brand. Furthermore, with the power of Cloudtheapp Platform, businesses can tailor the design of the Engineering Change module and other integrated solutions to fit their exact needs without having to write code or deal with unknown technologies.
