Monthly Engineering Change Order Status Report

Track and analyze engineering change orders (ECOs) to optimize product development efficiency, ensure quality standards, and manage engineering resources effectively.

Report Objective

Monitor and analyze the volume, completion rates, and cycle times of engineering change orders (ECOs) to identify trends, bottlenecks, and opportunities for process improvement in product engineering operations.

  • What is driving changes in ECO volume?

  • Are completion rates maintaining target levels?

  • How do current trends compare to historical patterns?

ECO Cycle Time Analysis
