Sampling Timeline Planner

Transparent method

Formula, assumptions and check example

The planner adds internal stage allowances to the selected start date. Yarn route, product type, complexity and certification review change the stage durations.

Calculation logic

• estimated handover date = start date + sum of selected stage calendar-day allowances.

Assumptions and limits

• The model uses calendar days and does not automatically remove weekends, public holidays, shipping delays or approval waiting time.
• Supplier capacity and material availability must be confirmed before committing to a delivery calendar.

Worked check

A balanced knitwear sample using stock-supported yarn and no certification review adds 31 calendar days across brief, yarn, knitting, revision and handover stages.
