scope:

PURPOSE. To provide instructions for expediting the process of change documentation (engineering orders (EOs) and engineering parts lists (EPLs)) as FEOs/FEPLs to allow manufacturing or test organizations to proceed without interruption. This process avoids schedule impacts while the change package containing the official baseline configuration documentation is in the preparation, approval, and release cycle. NOTE: The FEO/FEPL method is a risk jointly taken by the responsible design and manufacturing or test organizations. If during the EO/EPL process, design decides a technical change is required to the signed FEO/FEPL, design shall cancel or replace the original FEO/FEPL, notify manufacturing or testing organizations, and reinitiate this entire process.

APPLICABILITY. This Instruction is limited to Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in-house activities conducted by MSFC personnel and MSFC support contractors. This Instruction will not be utilized for processing changes to specific contract requirements.
