RE: EPDM Usage

REF : old vs NEW rev. levels

  I have helped to implement such a strategy, we used an 'ENG' site to
develop the new rev level, and did not copy to the 'MFG' site until
ready for release, i.e. use for MO(s). As a part of that release we have
a procedure (controlled by Work flow) to address the changing of item
rev effective dates. This seems to be working quite well, if you would
like to discuss specifics let me know, i can be reached at
724-346-0153 or via email.
