All of "our" parts are source controlled either by a drawing or specific Manufacturer's and their specific part numbers. If no drawing, the Manufacturer names and part numbers are loaded in SAP and can only be added/changed by Engineering under ECO control. The purchasing department is only allowed to purchase off the drawing or the specific part number that Engineering controls in SAP unless they have an approved deviation from Engineering which is also recorded in SAP against a part. If they break the rules we go after them with a big stick:) They haven't broken the rules in quite a while.

I finally got them to provide the manufacturer names and >part numbers. It seems that some purchasing departments still have (or assume) freedom to buy parts from any source, so long as they have a vague resemblance to the BOM data. For safety critical components, this is obviously a 'no-no'. But to constrain them, they must be supplied with 'purchasing drawings' which have ALL the details necessary to ensure that the correct parts are purchased. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
