Weekly Status — At a Glance
CWP-700 is in Phase 2 (Production Ramp & Steady-State) and currently Yellow on quality due to the NDT queue backlog (I-02) that formed during early ramp — inspection capacity had been sized for FAI-level throughput rather than full two-shift production rate. The fix (a second, then a fully corrected two-Level-II-technician NDT staffing model per RAIDD Decision D-05) is now in place; this week's focus was validating the backlog has actually cleared rather than just declaring it fixed. No change to the overall program schedule is being proposed.
Accomplished This Week
- ✓MRB-003 (oversized fastener hole) dispositioned — rework authorized with engineering-approved oversized fastener, closed.Owner: J. Ferraro
- ✓MRB-004 (ply misalignment) dispositioned — scrap, with root cause traced to layup fixture wear.Owner: J. Ferraro
- ✓Second NDT technician (Shift 2) fully qualified and ramped — cycle time returned to plan within 2 weeks of onboarding.Owner: L. Vance
- ✓Quarterly PPAP review (Q2) completed for key raw-material suppliers — no findings.Owner: S. Pham
Planned Next Week
- →Validate NDT cycle time fully recovered across both shifts, not just Shift 2 where the fix landed.Owner: L. Vance
- →Finalize preventive-maintenance schedule for the layup fixture identified as MRB-004's root cause.Owner: M. Osei
- →Begin dual-source prepreg qualification per D-03, addressing R-01's single-source exposure.Owner: S. Pham
- →Monthly Joint Program Review with Meridian to confirm delivery performance against schedule.Owner: C. Tyrrell
Risks & Issues Requiring Attention
| ID | Description | Owner | Status / Action | Target Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R-01 | Composite prepreg material lead time, single qualified source (Score 9, High/High) | M. Osei | Dual-source qualification approved (D-03); kickoff scheduled next week | Mo. 9 (dual-source qualified) |
| R-07 | Original 14-person Phase 2 staffing insufficient for two-shift throughput | C. Tyrrell | Mitigated — realized as planning gap, corrected to 25 people (D-05); NDT piece validating this week | Closed, Mo. 8 |
| I-02 | NDT queue backlog added ~4 days to panel release cycle time | L. Vance | Second technician ramped; cycle time recovery being validated this week | Mo. 8, Wk. 3 |
| R-05 | Single-source tooling fabrication supplier could delay future CDR handoffs | A. Whitfield | Flagged for next Governance review; no backup supplier yet identified | Next Governance review |
