A small change in a drawing may seem harmless — until multiple versions start circulating. Suddenly a part doesn’t fit, the bill of materials is outdated, or a supplier is still working with the old revision. Proper version control prevents these issues and brings calm to the process. At Vormelijk Engineering, it’s a standard part of how we work.
1) One version is the truth
We use fixed revision numbers and clear file naming conventions, so it’s always obvious which version is current. No confusion, no duplicates, no chaos on the server.
2) Revisions with a reason
Every modification is documented with context: what was changed, why, and by whom. This makes projects traceable and prevents old mistakes from being reintroduced.
3) Clear communication with suppliers
We ensure suppliers always receive the correct version — with the revision status clearly visible on both drawing and BOM. This minimizes the risk of production errors.
4) Structure builds confidence
When version control is well managed, decisions can be made faster. Everyone works from the same information, reducing endless back-and-forth and unnecessary rework.
Version control may seem administrative, but in reality, it’s the foundation of technical reliability. Clarity in your data means clarity in your execution.
