Workstation readiness reviews. Confirm product & process requirements are understood at the workstation level and that the manufacturing process has the potential to produce product consistently meeting these requirements.

* Downstream:
Physical Fresh Eyes Reviews (FERs) of prototype, pre-durability, post-durability, pre-production, and production vehicles

The Campaign Prevention Process (CPS) leads each segment of the campaign prevent process
