There are three main benefits to having a baseline plan. A baseline plan helps team members keep on track with the end goal. For example, if the baseline projected that a portion of the project would take two weeks to complete and a month has gone by, that may be an indication that something is amiss.
Cooling is done slowly to avoid the distortion (warping) of the metal piece, or even cracking, caused by stresses induced by differential contraction due to thermal inhomogeneities. Benefits of annealing are: relieve stresses; increase softness, ductility and toughness; produce a specific microstructure; 11.2 Process Annealing . Deforming a piece that has been strengthened by cold working requires a lot of energy. Reverting the effect of cold work by process annealing eases further deformation. Heating allows recovery and recrystallization but is usually limited to avoid excessive grain growth and oxidation. 11.3 Stress Relief
