Just received an email update from Ford communicating to me my build date has been delayed for an additional two weeks...[From Bronco Nation]
Ford sent out these notes in a bulletin to dealers today.
BRONCO JULY PRODUCTION SCHEDULING MEMO
Below is information to support conversations with your Bronco order holders about the upcoming July Production scheduling.
Background
Scheduling Process Explained
- Ford is investing millions of dollars to match production to orders by stockpiling parts and increasing capacity
- Continued challenges with hard top production will result in significantly more soft tops as % of production for July production; Reminder that mixes will shift by month
- Additionally, trailer tow and safari bar will be key scheduling constraints in July
- July production scheduling begins next week, May 20
Ford's production process is dynamic and based on a number of real time factors including reservation timestamp, orders available for scheduling, part availability, and the number of Bronco vehicles each dealer receives. While timestamp is a key factor, the scheduling system will continue to go down the list until it finds a clean/eligible order based on that month’s production requirements and part availability. Make sure all your orders are ready for scheduling.
July Production Notes
- Soft Top Production Opportunity
- Customers looking to get their Bronco as soon as possible should consider changing their order from hard top to soft top by May 19, ahead of July production scheduling period
- Based on current mix of soft top production and the number of available orders in order bank, a large number of soft top orders with very late time stamps will schedule for July production
- Trailer Tow & Safari Bar Scheduling
- These commodities are in short supply for July production
- Encourage customers that want to get their Bronco’s earlier to remove these options from their orders
- Wildtrak & First Edition Scheduling
- These series will have limited July production due to hard top availability
