Full detail document for each of the 8 changes logged on the Change Control Log — description, justification, impact, and approval authority for each.
Correct Part Marking Specification Reference
| Category | Documentation / Administrative | Requested By | H. Lindgren (Doc Control) |
| Date Submitted | 08 Jun 2026 | Date Decided | 15 Jun 2026 |
| Approval Authority | Acme Internal (Tier 1) — C. Tyrrell | ||
Description: A drawing reference number in the part marking specification pointed to a superseded engineering revision letter. No change to the physical marking requirement — the correction is purely to the document reference.
Justification: Caught during a routine document-control audit; left uncorrected, it risked confusion for future engineering changes referencing the wrong baseline revision.
Impact: None to cost, schedule, or the physical part.
ApprovedClarify Edge-Trim Tolerance Callout
| Category | Documentation / Administrative | Requested By | R. Kessler (Quality Eng. Lead) |
| Date Submitted | 02 Aug 2026 | Date Decided | 09 Aug 2026 |
| Approval Authority | Acme Internal (Tier 1) — R. Kessler | ||
Description: First Article Inspection found the edge-trim tolerance callout ambiguous between two adjacent drawing views (top view vs. section view showed the tolerance zone slightly differently). Wording clarified; the actual tolerance value did not change.
Justification: Ambiguous callouts risk inconsistent interpretation between inspectors on different shifts.
Impact: None to cost or schedule. Directly informed the standard used at First Article Inspection.
ApprovedRevise FAI Checklist Acceptance Criteria Wording
| Category | Documentation / Administrative | Requested By | R. Kessler (Quality Eng. Lead) |
| Date Submitted | 12 Aug 2026 | Date Decided | 19 Aug 2026 |
| Approval Authority | Acme Internal (Tier 1) — R. Kessler | ||
Description: The customer source-inspection auditor flagged 2 acceptance criteria on the FAI checklist as ambiguous (see RAIDD Issue I-04). The checklist was revised with unambiguous pass/fail criteria and re-issued for all subsequent article runs.
Justification: Ambiguous acceptance criteria risk inconsistent FAI results across future units.
Impact: None to cost or schedule. See RAIDD Issue I-04 for the originating finding.
ApprovedUpdate Program Baseline for Corrected Staffing Model
| Category | Schedule / Resource | Requested By | C. Tyrrell (Program Manager) |
| Date Submitted | 21 Sep 2026 | Date Decided | 28 Sep 2026 |
| Approval Authority | Executive Sponsor (Tier 2) — G. Talmadge | ||
Description: Formalized the correction of the delivery team from a 14-person, single-shift estimate to a 25-person, two-shift team into the program's standing resource and schedule baseline, ahead of Phase 2 production ramp.
Justification: The original staffing estimate was insufficient to run real steady-state two-shift production — see RAIDD Risk R-07 and Decision D-05 for the full record.
Impact: Program budget corrected from $3,500,000 to $5,200,000. See the Resource Plan and Program Budget for full detail.
ApprovedApprove Immersion Ultrasonic Testing as Alternate NDT Method
| Category | Engineering Change (ECN) | Requested By | L. Vance (Materials/NDT Eng.) |
| Date Submitted | 25 Sep 2026 | Date Decided | 07 Oct 2026 |
| Approval Authority | Meridian Program Office (Tier 3) | ||
Description: Added immersion ultrasonic testing as a Meridian-approved alternate inspection method to contact UT on the engineering drawing's NDT callout, with no change to acceptance criteria.
Justification: Supports the corrected two-shift NDT staffing model (2 Level II technicians) with a method better suited to sustained two-shift throughput; addresses the NDT queue backlog recorded in RAIDD Issue I-02.
Impact: No change to cost or acceptance criteria. Requires Meridian approval since NDT method is a drawing callout, not an internal Acme process choice.
ApprovedRevise Layup Fixture Preventive Maintenance Schedule
| Category | Process / Tooling | Requested By | M. Osei (Manufacturing Eng.) |
| Date Submitted | 02 Dec 2026 | Date Decided | 11 Dec 2026 |
| Approval Authority | Acme Internal (Tier 2) — Program Review Board | ||
Description: Root cause corrective action following MRB-004 (ply misalignment traced to layup fixture wear) — added a standing preventive-maintenance schedule for the fixture. No change to the part or its acceptance criteria.
Justification: Prevents recurrence of the same root cause on future production runs. See the Material Review Board log for MRB-004.
Impact: Minor recurring maintenance cost, absorbed within existing tooling/maintenance budget lines — no baseline change.
ApprovedAdd Repair Limits Table for Oversized Fastener Holes
| Category | Engineering Change (ECN) | Requested By | R. Kessler (Quality Eng. Lead) |
| Date Submitted | 15 Dec 2026 | Date Decided | 05 Jan 2027 |
| Approval Authority | Meridian Program Office (Tier 3) | ||
Description: Formalized the rework disposition already used in MRB-001 and MRB-003 into a standing repair-limits table on the engineering drawing, so future oversized-fastener-hole findings within the approved range don't each require a fresh MRB rework disposition.
Justification: Reduces repeat MRB cycle time for a known, bounded, already-precedented finding. See the Material Review Board log for MRB-001 and MRB-003.
Impact: No cost impact; reduces future MRB cycle time for this specific finding type. Requires Meridian approval since it changes the accepted repair envelope on the engineering drawing.
ApprovedAdd Second Approved Source for Composite Prepreg Material
| Category | Supplier / Material | Requested By | S. Pham (Supplier Quality Eng.) |
| Date Submitted | 28 Oct 2026 | Date Decided | 19 Nov 2026 |
| Approval Authority | Meridian Program Office (Tier 3) | ||
Description: Added a second qualified supplier to the engineering drawing's approved-source list for the primary composite prepreg material.
Justification: Closes out the single-source schedule exposure recorded as RAIDD Risk R-01 (score 9, High/High) — see RAIDD Decision D-03 for the full record.
Impact: No change to the current program budget; qualification cost was scoped separately. Requires Meridian approval since the approved-source list is part of the engineering drawing baseline.
