How we measure the 74% ECO cycle-time reduction
ECO cycle time is the elapsed time from when an engineering change is requested to when it is approved and released across every affected discipline — mechanical, electrical, firmware, and manufacturing. Pilot teams using ProductFlo cut their ECO cycle time by 74% in the first month, as self-reported by the teams.
What we measured
- Metric: ECO cycle time per team — the elapsed time from change request to cross-discipline release, comparing each team's baseline against its day-30 figure.
- Sample: early pilot teams running the 30-day pilot.
- Baseline: each team’s ECO cycle time before ProductFlo, captured during the first week of the pilot.
- Window: baseline vs. day-30 measurement.
How an ECO is defined
An engineering change order is counted from the moment a change request is formally raised (ECR) to the moment the change is approved and released to every affected discipline.
Caveats
- Self-reported. The figures come from pilot teams’ own records, not from independent audit. We publish the method so you can judge the number — and every pilot runs against a written scorecard (see pilot success criteria) so the measurement is agreed up front, not reconstructed after the fact.
- Sample scope. The figure reflects our early pilot teams. Full sample details will be published here once confirmed.
Measure it on your own team.
The pilot baselines your ECO cycle time in week one and measures again at day 30 — against a scorecard you approve before we start.
