A filled-in DD Form 1692 example: a minor routine change to a part

DD Form 1692 example filled out, example: a minor routine change to a part
A supplier engineer fills out DD Form 1692 for a part change. The change is minor, routine and preliminary, saves money, and affects one document, so Box 21a is Yes. The picture shows page 1 only, and none of its entries is real. Box 17 is Product, so ECP Page 2 stays unused. Box 15 is empty because no other external system is affected. Box 21b is No, so Box 21c and Box 21d say N/A. Page 2 holds the originator, approving activity, signatures and attachments, so those boxes stay empty in the picture; the signatures are signed by hand after printing, and the rest is entered when it arrives.
