Controlled Shipping Exit Support
for CS1 and CS2 Recovery
Controlled Shipping does not exit on its own. It exits through disciplined milestone execution, customer-facing communication, and verified corrective action evidence. IDS coordinates the 90-day exit playbook.
Milestone-driven closure with customer SQE sign-off preparation.
CS exit is not a technical event. It is a customer relationship event backed by technical evidence. Suppliers who focus only on the fix without the customer-facing communication miss the exit even when the fix is solid.
30-Day Milestone
Corrective action implementation verification, initial verification data collection, and customer SQE alignment on the exit criteria path.
60-Day Milestone
Sustained performance evidence, verification data with statistically meaningful sample sizes, read-across analysis to similar programs, and updated control plan documentation.
90-Day Milestone
Customer SQE-facing exit meeting preparation, formal exit request submission, and post-exit stabilization planning.
Customer Communication Cadence
Regular customer-facing communication throughout CS window prevents late-window surprise objections that delay exit approval.
On-Site Coordination
On-site presence at customer plant during containment window materially reduces exit timeline versus remote-only response.
Post-Exit Monitoring
Extended monitoring after exit prevents re-entry into CS. Suppliers exiting CS with weak post-exit discipline often re-enter within 6 months.
