what is the difference between ECO and MCO management

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

ECO (Engineering Change Orders) and MCO (Manufacturing Change Orders) are both change management tools used in product development and manufacturing processes. However, they are used in different contexts and for different purposes. ECO is typically used in the design and engineering phase of a product. It is a documentation packet that outlines the proposed change, lists the product or parts affected, and provides a detailed explanation of the change. ECOs are used to make modifications to components, assemblies, or documentation during the product design process. In the context of NetSuite, it appears from the conversations that users are utilizing the native ECO functionality, but some find it lacking in quality and are exploring other options like SuiteApps or external tools like Arena PLM. On the other hand, MCO is used during the manufacturing phase. It is a method of identifying, documenting, and communicating changes to a manufacturing process, which can include changes to the actual manufacturing equipment, the production environment, or the production procedures. Unfortunately, there are no specific mentions of MCO management in the provided conversations. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
