Drawing Review Delay

PE-10329 — Sub-Frame Machining Pack

Blocked

Operational issue

Owner: Procurement

Drawing Review dwell exceeded expected gate window

Expected dwell4 days
Actual dwell11.5 days
Variance+7.5 days

Causal chain

Operational state → capital consequence

  1. DRAWING REVIEW DELAY
  2. PRODUCTION RELEASE DELAY
  3. PAYMENT MILESTONE DELAY
  4. LONGER CASH CONVERSION
  5. CAPITAL REMAINS TIED UP

Why this matters

This order cannot progress to the next release condition until the gate is cleared. The resulting dwell increases the amount of capital tied up before factory release, pushes the next payment milestone out by 8 days and extends the cash conversion cycle for the whole portfolio.

Recommended action

Clear the drawing review gate and release the job to the next stage.
