Cases have ranged from material integrity and certification issues, long-lead items being dimensionally discrepant days prior to qualification testing, supply chain flex-up due to pandemic response, test equipment rapid response to enable product entry-into-service and spacecraft flight critical items requiring rapid re-engineering of manufacturing methods.
