The engineering department has raised a question about the expensive molybdenum bearing you plan to use in your warp drive project?

They believe they can find an acceptable but cheaper substitute and submit a change request to do the necessary research. Their request is the result of:A. An external eventB. An error or omission in defining the scope of the productC. An error or omission in defining the scope of the projectD. A value-adding change

Thanks for the invite.

Bearing type , being the integral part of the warp drive project that has an impact on the project cost, option C appears to be most appropriate.

Option-D A value-adding change

Value adding change is not very common term so I think the engineering was from an  operational department

C. An error or omission in defining the scope of the project.

Why is the Engineering Department questioning this metal?

Perhaps, there is a bearing in existance which is cheaper and does the same thing!

 

I think you failed to explain why you need it in the product, what value it has for the project.

Redue your ECN request with a detailed explonation otherwise you can count on it that it gets kicked back/ diaproved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

he second thing I am questioning is why is the engineering department objecting to this? unless there are alternate bearings which are much cheaper
