The company I work for is in the process of implementing a MRP system which needs part and assembly revision levels. We have not had a method to document the revision levels for parts & assemblies in the past however we have been able to maintain a list of revision levels for documents.
MFG wants the part or assembly revision level to match the revision level on the respective drawing. This way the PO will list the part number & revision being ordered and the drawing number will match.
We engineers contend that the part or assembly revision level is independent of the drawing (drawings may be revised to add views or sheets to make them easier to read which has no impact to the revision level of the part).
Are there any references to determine which method is correct?
Any experiences that can be used to show why one method is better than the other?
Thanks for any assistance,
Louis
