firstfixations

Firstfixations is a term used in various fields, most notably in project management and manufacturing, to describe the initial or preliminary phase of a process or task. In project management, firstfixations refer to the early stages of a project where the foundational elements are established. This often includes defining project scope, setting objectives, identifying stakeholders, and creating initial plans. It's a critical period for ensuring the project is well-defined and has a clear direction before moving into more detailed execution phases.

In manufacturing and construction, firstfixations often relates to the initial installation of non-finished components. For example, in building construction, this could involve the installation of structural framing, electrical wiring, plumbing pipes, and ductwork before walls are closed up or finishes are applied. This phase is also sometimes called "rough-in." The primary purpose of firstfixations is to lay the groundwork for subsequent stages, ensuring that all necessary infrastructure is in place and functional before visible elements are added. It requires careful planning and coordination to avoid conflicts between different systems, such as electrical and plumbing. Errors or omissions during firstfixations can be costly and time-consuming to rectify later in the project.
