Subsequent manufacturing operations were continued through several steps until it was realized that the wire harness was meant to be a temporary installation only. Production time was lost to back out and remove the harness so that it could be returned to its m
3、anufacturer to complete its detail manufacturing sequence and final test. This incident caused a slight impact (delay) to subcontractors internal schedule, but had no effect on overall Program schedule.Root cause: During the Manufacturing process it is very important to flag and control “temporary i
4、nstallations“ to avoid wasting time or, in the worst case, building in sub-assemblies that are incomplete and/or untested.Lesson(s) Learned: Temporary installations often are required as “afterthoughts“ in complex assembly sequences and therefore must be rigorously managed when integrated into assem

The improved approach includes attachment of a status tag on a
