Art,
Any change whether a simple documention change could run in the $8000.00 to
30,000.00 dollar range depending of course on the number and level of people
involved in the change just in documentation. So now add any tooling costs
involved if changing that too. Also I would absolutely agree with if it left
not just the building bu tthe department it is a rev change. Even when a
proto goes to th elab for build a set of lab docs are made and even cahnges
to those docs get a rev change, however in this case we do not involve an
ECO, untill the lab docs are actually released into production.
