Control of engineering documentation, sometimes called “Configuration Management,” is a critical component of world-class manufacturing. The third edition of this popular engineering documentation handbook improves upon one of the best blueprints for efficient EDC/CM ever published, and continues to provide a significant company strategy for managers, project leaders, chief engineers and others. It can be used in many industries to improve the control of engineering documentation.

Use the Engineering Documentation Control Handbook to get on track right away and make the release of new products and their documentation flow smoothly and easily. The book is packed with specific methods that can be applied quickly and accurately, to almost any industry and any product, to control documentation, request changes to the product, make those changes, and develop bills of material. The result is a powerful communications bridge between engineering and “the rest of the world” that makes rapid changes in products and documentation possible. With the help of the simple techniques in the handbook, companies can gain and hold their competitive advantages in a world that demands flexibility and quick reflexes -and has no sympathy for delays.
