Creating a timeline schedule without calendar dates

[caffo]

I need to input a generic schedule that depicts timeline milestones after
receipt of an order. I have been unable to find a way to do this without
using a normal calendar. For instance, I could have the following:
Receipt of order - day 0
Receipt of components - day 50
Complete Manufacturing - Day 100
Customer acceptance testing - Day 110
Shipment - Day 120
ETC.

Can project do this? Or is this a Visio or other program task? Thanks.

Make task 1 receipt of order then link all following tasks to it.
Set the project start date to any month where the 1st is on the first day of
your week
Double-click the timescale of the Gantt chart and change the label to Week1
and Day 1
Edit the Bar styles so no date shows for milestones or run the Gantt Chart
Wizard to get the same result.

Save the project as a template so you can re-use it.
