A practice grown slowly
Our view of schedule coordination grew from the field, not a slogan. Each delay and each recovery taught a small lesson about where timing breaks first under pressure.
Responding to surprises
When something sudden hits, we re-rank by priority and protect the promise that matters most. Safety and customer impact lead; convenience follows once the risk clears away.
Recover the sequence
After the event we reset the sequence rather than patch it. A clean restart keeps the remaining milestones believable instead of stacking delay upon delay for the customer.
