  2. Define build flow and content

     Define the basic processes to manufacture the product.

  3. (Optional) Perform detailed planning

     Plan the operation details and work instructions.

  4. Distribute welds across the build plan

     Assign welds required by the product to processes.

  5. Accept process updates

     Accept process level changes.

     Create a workflow for the process to gather signoffs.

  7. Approve the process in the workflow

     Approve the process in the workflow.
