Causal chain
Operational state → capital consequence
- ENGINEERING DELAY
- PRODUCTION RELEASE DELAY
- PAYMENT MILESTONE DELAY
- LONGER CASH CONVERSION
- 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 4 days and extends the cash conversion cycle for the whole portfolio.
Recommended action
Clear the engineering gate and release the job to the next stage.
