Introduction: Engineering Work Bench (EWB) Version 1.0, the tool which is designed and developed by Flextronics, is used to validate the Approved Manufacturer’s List (AML) for the Bill of Materials supplied by the customer. The main intend of this document is to give, the user a clear and concrete picture/instructions on ‘HOW-TO’ use this tool effectively. Engineering Work Bench (eWB 1.0)

Parts found? SC : Approved? CA – Create workflow in eWB CE – Works on BOM items PL – Review project information, Assign CE CE : AML validation - Search for best-fit parts against catalog Select Parser, Attach BOM, Assign PL Define parsing rules Get Initial hit-rate against Catalog and MDM YES - Close Project NO - CE – Create and complete NPR YES - CE – Send to SC for approval All items completed? CA : Change Analyst CE : Component Engineer SC : Site Contact PL : Project Lead eWB – AML Validation Flow
