Automotive & supply chain / SCOPED TEN-DAY ASSESSMENT

Launch Readiness & Supplier Recovery Assessment

Protect launch milestones, stabilize critical suppliers and reduce quality and delivery losses with a practical recovery plan.

Start with a scoping conversation. Deliverables, timing and fees are agreed before you commit.

When this assessment helps

  • Supplier approvals or demonstrated capacity are behind plan
  • Defects, rework or premium freight threaten delivery
  • Launch risks are reported without evidence of closure

Ten business days. A practical operating plan.

The schedule is agreed around one defined site or program, available evidence and access to the team. Additional sites or a wider program are scoped separately.

Days 1–3 / Understand

Establish the baseline

Review launch gates, critical suppliers and demonstrated production capability. Observe constraints and separate status reports from verified readiness.

Days 4–7 / Prioritize

Focus on the highest-value work

Rank quality, capacity and material risks by customer impact. Define containment, supplier recovery and operating-system improvements with named owners.

Days 8–10 / Align

Agree the action plan

Deliver a launch risk register, gated recovery schedule, supplier action tracker and first-90-day plan with escalation and evidence reviews.

A sample of what you receive

Your action plan connects each priority to a baseline, an agreed target, an owner and a review date. This example shows the structure; measures and targets are established from your operation.

The assessment also provides a prioritized opportunity map, first-90-day action plan, integration or investment priorities and the evidence needed to judge progress.

What your team brings

The launch timing plan, supplier approval status, capacity evidence, process risk and control documents, defect records, downtime, shortages and delivery performance.

We agree access to the sponsor, relevant department leaders and the work being assessed. Available data is enough to start a scoping discussion; evidence gaps become part of the review.

Who delivers the work

TTWCI leads the operating assessment, priorities and management approach. Client leaders provide access and own operating decisions. Where specialist installation or integration is needed, the delivery team and responsibilities are confirmed in the written scope.

From assessment to implementation

Agree the engagement

TTWCI reviews your enquiry, discusses the situation and confirms a written scope, schedule, responsibilities and fee.

Implement & coach

Follow-on support is scoped separately: on-site problem solving, process changes, targeted pilots, supervisor coaching and team training.

Review & sustain

Quarterly reviews and continued coaching can verify adoption, resolve barriers and prepare successful changes for other sites.

Start with the problem you need to solve.
