What is the first step in the MTU road map?

• A. Sales order and project
• B. Initial engine inspection
• C. Customer contract review
• D. Production scheduling

Answer: (A)

The first step in the MTU road map is to capture the sales order and initialize the project in the system. This creates the formal authorization to proceed, assigns the project and order numbers, and links all future activities to a single, traceable baseline. With the sales order and project in place, you establish scope, commercial terms, and a reference point for planning, budgeting, and scheduling, so every downstream step has a concrete context to work from.

Following this, steps like customer contract review, initial engine inspection, and production scheduling come into play as part of the ongoing workflow. The contract review checks terms against the order, the initial engine inspection begins the technical readiness, and production scheduling assigns timelines and resources—each step needs the initial project and order to exist first.
