RELY · Quality Containment Series · Production-linked releaseNO. 13
FOR MATERIALS, PLANNING AND SCHEDULING
A completed sort on Friday doesn't help a line that needs parts on Tuesday. Release to the run-out. Not the finish date.
Containment should be planned against production consumption, not the vendor's completion schedule.

Release 1 is sized to the next production window, not the lot.
ILLUSTRATIVE RELEASE MODEL. TIMING AND QUANTITIES ARE REPRESENTATIVE, NOT A SPECIFIC CUSTOMER'S DATA.
- Known-good on hand
- What production can actually build with now.
- Usage rate
- How fast certified inventory is consumed.
- Suspect quantity
- How much material is currently held.
- Run-short time
- When production crosses the line-down threshold.
The first certified release should move when it changes the production outcome, not when the entire lot is finished.
The line does not care when the sort ends. It cares when the next certified parts arrive.
