Who is primarily responsible for the bulk of work during the Submitting step of the ECP process?

The contractor is primarily responsible for the bulk of work during the submitting step of the Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) process. This step involves the contractor compiling necessary documentation, data, and justification to support the proposed changes. The contractor must ensure that the ECP is thoroughly detailed, addressing technical, cost, schedule, and performance implications, and that all required formats and compliance standards are met.

This responsibility is essential because the contractor possesses the necessary knowledge about the design, implementation, and operational aspects of the project and is able to articulate how the proposed changes will affect the system or product effectively. Therefore, the contractor plays a critical role in ensuring that all relevant information is accurately represented and communicated to stakeholders throughout the ECP process.
