eILVS: Application Purpose & Concepts

The eILVS system, a module of CMMS3, is an inquiry system for the ILVS (In Line Vehicle Sequence) community. Users may view the actual sequence in which vehicles are being built, the 866 Supplier Release, whether a bill-of-material change has caused the 866 Supplier Release to fluctuate, whether 866 Supplier Release Errors exist, and all the final assembly part numbers associated with an ILVS commodity. 

 Note: A supplier may view only those parts and ILVS commodities that the supplier ships to a Ford Assembly Plant.

Additional information under the help tab on the eILVS home page.
