Subject matter expert	Experience	Approve/Comments	Feedback for each gate/Success factor					General comments
Subject matter expert	Experience	Approve/Comments	Gate 0	Gate 1	Gate 2	Gate 3	Gate 4	General comments
SME 1	Senior leader in digital manufacturing Engineering and Digital implementation specialist	Approve	As below, sustainability piece would be a good addition	Maybe a review to understand previous projects similar and reviewing lessons learnt	Revisit the business case and confirmation with key stakeholders within the business and finance manager	Revisit business case	How do we capture and make lessons learnt available globally and across functions?
SME 2	Senior Leader in Industrialization Manufacturing Engineering and Product Introduction Specialist	Approve	Training plans should be included here, or at least discussed and built into investment		Change to training booked?	Consider moving training to earlier in the framework strategy? Or a single theme from Gate 0 to 4?	Minimum standard review and update would complement this gate	Titles for gates misleading, Leadership and Training don't portray Deployment and Go-Live well enough. What does good look like? Does this need a supporting minimum standard?
SME 3	Manufacturing Engineering Specialist	Approve		Could benefit from risk register and reviewing previous lessons learned at this early stage				A well-constructed framework that should help Manufacturing Engineering robustly deploy I4.0 initiatives
SME 4	Manufacturing Engineering Specialist	Approve	Include Sustainability element	Include re-evaluation of business case	Inclusion of obsolescence Strategy? Maybe Gate 1 as part of infrastructure requirements? Is “Hardware and Software deployed” the deployment plans or successful gate 2 would be completion of deployment? Include re-evaluation of business case	Maybe pull continuity plans forward to gate 2? Include re-evaluation of business case	Include key practitioners/key end users in gate panel
