- Planning
- Materials
- Setup
- Production
- Breakdown
- Cleanup
I added materials, since you’re not going to get much of anywhere without them. Sure, you could consider that part of either the planning or the setup stage, but I feel that materials should be explicitly stated as well.
I guess on that same note, tools count in as materials for sake of this list. Any which way, if you don’t have all the stuff you need to do the thing, you’re going to hit a roadblock in your project.
And always keep at least 3 extra 10mm sockets around, just in case…
Well, my late father learned the 5 stage process from the US Navy, so the breakdown stage can more or less be thought of as breaking down large temporary equipment such as cranes and scaffolding and such. Still got cleanup to do after breaking down such large equipment, and of course that applies to many other fields as well.
