X-ES has a formal Configuration Management Plan and Configuration Management Process to support an ECO Process for customers that require this level of support. The X-ES configuration management system provides precise control over the parts and materials that make up a product and the records to identify at any point in time the parts and materials used to make specific manufactured units.

ECO Process

X-ES provides a formal ECO (Engineering Change Order) process in support of specific customer program requirements:

All ECOs have a review and approval process. There are four levels of customer configuration control:

• Notification: Customer is notified when new ECOs are applied
• Approval: Customer approval is required prior to implantation of new ECOs
• ECO Hold: Product is held at a particular ECO level and not modified
