Frequently Asked Questions

Engineering Change

I received an engineering change from my buyer, do I need to respond?
Yes. You should respond ASAP to your Purchasing Cost Analyst using the form received with your engineering change package. Your response should include lead time for any tooling changes, cost changes and expected changeover date. The changeover date should reflect the 1st date the new (changed) parts will be ready to ship.

How do I request an engineering change?
You should submit one of two forms to your Purchasing Cost Analyst: An ECR (Engineering Change Request) or a CR (Cost Reduction) Proposal. The definition and use of these forms can be found in the ICTA Procedures Manual or you can contact your Purchasing Cost Analyst.


What is the difference between an ECR and an ECN?
An ECR is a request for an Engineering Change. An ECN is the result of that request. It is the ACTUAL Engineering Change. For definitions of documents and forms, please see your ICTA Procedures Manual.


What is a Deviation Request?
A deviation request is a request from the supplier for permission to ship parts to an Isuzu facility which deviate from the specifications. This approved request is REQUIRED in order for a supplier to ship any parts which deviate from the most current approved ICTA specifications.


How do I submit a Deviation Request?
Using the Supplier Request sheet, a deviation should be submitted to ICTA Quality personnel.


What is an AAS?
An Action Authorization Sheet (AAS) is used in lieu of an ECS or ECN when urgent action is requested to the supplier. Supplier should take action on an AAS countermeasure immediately.


What is the difference between an AAS and a deviation?
An AAS is an official request for action by Engineering. A deviation is a request from a supplier to ship parts that do not conform to the most current specifications.
