Directly from Dept. HHS website:
Operation Warp Speed's goal is to produce and
deliver 300 million doses of safe and effective vaccines with the initial doses available by January 2021, as part of a broader strategy to
accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics (collectively known as countermeasures).

Supply Chain 101 is the process chain from raw material to "shots in arms". Damn I hate that phrase. LSSU can use it when they generate the list of banished words.
That "puffy chested" General loved to spout off about "he's got it" and we will operate at warp speed. He really had nothing to do with the manufacture, everything was in place before, he may have helped speed up the archaic red tape of the blue bloods discussing the goods and bads. Sure hope he's replaced, I think he liked to hear himself talk.
All the roll out stuff that we saw on TV was elementary. Manufacturing operations use a much more complex, detailed supply chain process, done daily for years.
Appears warp speed ended at the border of the States and was left to the States to figure what to do. MI dropped the ball in my eyes but also was not given any guidance from the Feds.
By the way, my daughter gave around 120 injections yesterday at our community center.
