In practice
Product Lifecycle Mgmt.: a practical example
An engineering change affects a component already used in an active order. Examine the design revision, approval and material record together. The team needs to know which orders adopt the change and which retain the earlier version, with the decision preserved for later reference.
An illustrative scenario to discuss when planning your project.
