Program & Schedule

The engineering work is wrapped in a managed Program — approval gates, scored risks and deliverables — and a Schedule Manager plan of record, both live in Teamcenter.

Program Planning

The "Fly-in-Three" Program — gates & deliverables

A Teamcenter Program Planning object (PRG000001) carries the whole effort. Its Events are the go/no-go approval gates; its Deliverables tab holds the eight program artifacts, from the MADe reliability report to the manufacturing BOM release.

Program events — three approval gates in Teamcenter
Program — approval gates. Design Review Gate, Simulation Sign-off Gate and Program Complete / Flight-Ready — each a milestone Event with a planned date.Active Workspace · Program PRG000001 · Events
Program deliverables — eight program deliverables in Teamcenter
Program — deliverables (8). MADe reliability report, harness fabrication plan, Capital electrical release, RFLP baseline, manufacturing BOM and more, each a Program Deliverable revision.Active Workspace · Program PRG000001 · Deliverables
Simulation is a governed gate. The plan encodes the "simulate early" discipline as a milestone — a Simulation Sign-off Gate — not a matter of habit.

Schedule Manager

The plan of record — 12 tasks, 3 gates, 3 phases

The "QX-250 Fly-in-Three" schedule in Teamcenter Schedule Manager — a full task grid with planned start/finish, duration, work effort and constraints across Design, Manufacturing Planning and Simulation phases, planned finish Tue 14-Jul-2026. This is where the program's timing now lives.
