By AIAG

A global collaboration to streamline management of engineering changes for all automotive OEMs and Suppliers!

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., March 5 /PRNewswire/ --- The first global set of Engineering Change Management (ECM) Recommendations published by AIAG, in cooperation with the Strategic Automotive Product Data Standards Industry Group (SASIG), will be available at the end of this month. The publication titled SASIG ECM Recommendations was created by AIAG in collaboration with global OEM-supplier partners VDA - Germany, GALIA - France, Odette - Sweden, and JAMA - Japan.

The team identified numerous high pain points in the multi-billion dollar ECM domain including multiple systems/formats, missing information, wait time/responsiveness, manual re-keying of information, translation/interpretation, conflicting changes and many more. Their mission was to create a harmonized industry process, to more effectively and efficiently implement the countless engineering changes executed annually by OEMs and suppliers.

Industry-wide adoption of the EMC Recommendations will reduce the cost of engineering changes, which account for a significant portion of annual engineering budgets, with minimal investment.

For more information on this project and the upcoming ECM Recommendation publication, contact Akram Yunas, AIAG Collaborative Engineering Program Manager, at ayunas@aiag.org or call (248) 358-3570.
