| Week | Do | Tools | Done when |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Agree the roles with the plant manager. Start the FAI plan log with every first article planned, open or waiting for a customer, and every partial you suspect is owed. Run the trigger screen on every open order for a new or changed part. | D07 | One log; every open first article has an owner and a date |
| 2 | Write the ballooning convention. Build inspection plans for the next two launches, one line per balloon, with the gauge check. List key characteristics and start their register. | E11, D16, E07 | Two plans with every line Planned |
| 3 | Review the travelers for the next two launches before release. Put fixtures, programs and customer tooling on the equipment register, with validation status. Hold the first readiness review. | E09, E10, D09 | First review held and recorded |
| 4 | Start E12 first pieces on every setup on the launch machines. Review the next first article package with D08 before it is signed. Hold the first weekly launch review; set the measures' baseline. | E12, D08 | Weekly review on the calendar; baseline agreed |
