Keep the timeline real
Selection schedules slip when no one owns a milestone. We assign owners and review at each phase boundary. A milestone with a name attached is a milestone that gets prepared for; one without is a hope the calendar will somehow satisfy.
Validate before scale
We prove the choice in a small step before widening, so the timeline reflects field reality rather than optimism. A selection confirmed in use is worth more than a selection confirmed in a brochure, and the small step is what tells the difference.
Write the nodes
Time nodes go into writing, giving both sides a clear, checkable path through equipment selection. The written node is what lets a delayed stage be seen early, when it can still be recovered, instead of at the end, when it cannot.
Equipment selection timelines stay real only when milestones are owned. Dongshang New Energy writes the nodes in Zhaoyuan City so a delay is seen early, when it can still be recovered, instead of at the end, when recovery is no longer possible.
