Sampling Management: the Queue, the Rounds and the PP Gate
You follow one wool coat order through its whole sample programme. You see what each sample type is actually for, what a round costs in cash and in calendar days, and why the pre-production sample is the only one with no float behind it.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can take a live export order from confirmation to ship clearance on a dated critical path you built yourself, and recover it when a supplier slips.
Who it is for
Factory and supplier teams.
What you will produce
You build a sample calendar backwards from an on-board date, with a float figure against every submission. You cost one sample round line by line in cash and in days. You draw a sample-room capacity board with a priority rule. And you write a submission letter that names its revision, its lot, and its declared deviations.
