I have no idea what this means.

I'm not sure if your serious or not but there are only 52 weeks in a year.

Although he is missing an "r"

yea never heard of week 53 but looking at their scheduling they have week 53 lol

So the bottom line is that if your ordered Package 051A or any configuration with the Optional 18` Wheels # 641 your Build date just went into the crapper, how fun!

You could make the same argument for the 5.0 engine. That's not what it means. It just means that there will be no more of that type scheduled for that particular week.

I'd be ok if they ran out of 5.0 engines. Just use the 5.2 engines instead; that'll be fine.

Which should be the week of Thanksgiving.

Where did this data come from?

They have been constrained on 5.0 engines for two months. Seems to mean the engine factory is barely keeping up (or not quite) with the assembly line.

It could also mean they are scheduling perfectly and don't have excess engines sitting around taking up space. This doesn't mean they ran out of parts, it just means that all of the parts that can fit into the production schedule, have already been allocated. Since this assembly line manufactures multiple different models (Mustang and Fusion), they can only run so many Mustangs through it per week. Of those Mustangs, I'm sure they are limiting the GTs to a certain percentage of the total. They aren't going to make all of the GTs first, then all of the EcoBoosts. It's a blend that is changed based on many different factors.

I thought that's what I said, but you are more eloquent.

Any explanation why they ran out of 18`` Wheel Inventory at the (beginning) of the 2015 Model Year Run? # 641 STD on 051A Package and optional with other configurations shows 100% empty bin? Who`s the commodities and allocations specialist?

So RisingForce, if we are scheduled for a build week of 11/24, does the "No Scheduling" apply, or is that for future dates? I've been bumped again, just a bit worried due to the restraints.....

That's only affecting future builds. You should be fine.
