Here's a problem that has come up. The scenario is:
A component on a circuit board is no longer available to purchase. Engineering does some research, determines an alternate replacement part and passes the part number on to purchasing via an updated parts list.
The question is, does this situation fall into the design change clause (7.3.7) whereby the change is reviewed, verified and validated?
Currently there is no evidence of verification or validation but does there need to be?
I'm lookin' for some input here......
