Updated scheduling, 10/13

Thanks.

What is a 2 door coupe 4 Lite?

What is soft rollover and IP stitch? Is this the premium interior group option?

Also odds are my retail GT premium automatic will be scheduled on week of 11/09 with that 90% exhausted constraint on week of 11/02. (If it gets the allocation pulled.) :(

I'm also starting to see why my dealer stock order was assigned the 11/09 build week as well with all those constraints on 11/02 build week and apparently no new manual GT premiums assigned that week as it is at 100%.

looks like the premier trim package

So knowing the details of my order (see signature), how are my odds for getting a VIN/scheduled this Thursday? (Ordered 7/28)

It's like I just keep getting toe poked in the nuts over and over and over again.

Next week something else I ordered won't be scheduling.

I seriously do not understand these restraints.

They are 90% exhausted one week, and only 32% the next... so that means they plan to get more in, right?

And I swear the 19" summer tires are on this list all the time... and they keep building cars!

as a supply chain management guru, from a past life, perhaps i can speak to this a little bit. yes, cars are being built. current bins along the trim line are stocked for everything that has been put in production, everything that is scheduled has front stock ready to load into the line bins. the % you see should be back stock.

you are correct that they are getting more in - they get supplier deliveries all the time. When they run low on items, it is not for "Oopsie, i forgot to order enough of this widget". the cause would be supply chain delays. these numbers are based on advanced shipping notices already loaded into FORDS backbone EDI system from the supply chain. If vendors are late enough, and causes any delay in the meeting of ford's demand, you better believe that the supplier will get dinged financially, and possibly restricted in future purchase opportunities. (X number of days late = Y% off invoice).

it does not mean that the supplies will not arrive in time, it just means that Ford does not have a notice from the supplier that they are shipping the item.

That just made me giggle out loud like a little girl.

Probably not for the 11/2 build week, but 11/9 should work.
