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.

Exit Support Scope

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.

FAQ

Common questions about CS exit support

What is a typical CS2 exit timeline?

60 days is achievable but uncommon. 90 days is the realistic floor for most cases. Anything faster requires the customer to be highly motivated to exit, corrective action to be obviously systemic, and supplier communication discipline to be unusually strong. Most cases land at 90 to 150 days.

How does exit support differ from ongoing containment coordination?

Ongoing containment focuses on executing daily inspection and reporting. Exit support focuses on the milestone-driven closure sequence: 30-day corrective action verification, 60-day sustained performance evidence, and 90-day customer sign-off preparation.

Can IDS coordinate CS exit across multiple OEMs simultaneously?

Yes. Suppliers in CS at multiple OEM plants (uncommon but not unusual) engage IDS for coordinated exit planning across GM, Ford, and Stellantis under one engagement structure.

What documentation supports CS exit approval?

Verification data with statistically meaningful sample sizes demonstrating fix effectiveness, corrective action implementation evidence, control plan updates, read-across analysis to similar programs, and customer SQE-signed exit criteria confirmation.

How much does on-site coordination reduce CS exit timeline?

Suppliers with regular on-site plant presence during CS windows typically close 30 to 60 days faster than suppliers responding remotely. Same-day communication cadence and customer relationship depth are the primary levers.

Currently in CS1 or CS2 and need exit coordination?

Discovery calls scope engagement in 15 minutes. On-site coordination typically starts within 1 to 2 weeks and materially accelerates exit timeline.
