A change board sounds like a large-company habit. In a small shop it is a fifteen-minute standing meeting, once a week, with quality, engineering, production and purchasing, and an emergency route for a change that cannot wait a week. Its job is narrow: approve, hold or reject each change on the logs, and check that approved changes are moving.
| Agenda item | Look at | Decide |
|---|---|---|
| New changes since last week | D11 and E13 change logs: Assess and approve | Approve, hold for an answer, or reject; owner and dates for each |
| Changes approved, not yet in | Approved: implementing; Approved: trial and implement | Is the effectivity point still right? Any lot at risk of straddling it? |
| Changes in production | Implemented: actions open; Implemented: watching | What is blocking closure; who will clear it this week |
| Needs attention | The flag columns on both logs | One action per flag |
| Supplier changes | C14 | Accept, ask for more, or reject |
| Floor checks | D10 configuration checks and A13 point-of-use checks since last week | Any mismatch: what path did the old copy take? |
Emergency changes, such as a customer stop-ship or a safety issue, go to the quality manager and the engineering lead the same day. They are approved in writing (an email is enough), entered on the log the same day, and reviewed at the next board like any other change.
