Weekly status
Report completed work, next-week plan, open approvals and any variance against the baseline date.
How do you guarantee lead time (milestones, weekly updates, risk plan)?
Make the schedule conditional, visible and measurable
No supplier can guarantee custom gear lead time against every design change or external disruption. A reliable commitment states its assumptions, freezes technical inputs, assigns milestone dates, reports progress and risks weekly, and triggers a documented recovery plan when a gate slips.
Start with the factors in PairGears' guide to custom gear production lead time.
Put these gates on the order schedule
- Drawing and requirement freeze
- Material availability and process release
- Machining and heat-treatment completion
- First article or sample approval
- Final inspection, packing and shipment readiness
Risk register
Name the owner, probability, delivery impact, prevention action and decision deadline for each material, tooling or approval risk.
Recovery rule
Agree what happens after a missed milestone: parallel work, alternative sourcing, added inspection capacity or a revised committed date.
Questions buyers should ask
When does lead time start? Which approvals stop the clock? Does the date include inspection, export packing and transit? Who escalates a risk, and when?
