Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • A planned supply quantity is treated as available stock before receipt or completion.
  • A changed bill of material obscures the revision used for released work.
  • A late schedule is rewritten without retaining the original planned finish.
  • Reported output is transferred to finished stock while its required inspection remains open.
