🛠 3/14/22 Build Week Group

All, there’s a thing called MRP that all manufacturers run. It’s complex and takes a massive amount of computer processing time. The only way to run a full regeneration, which Ford likely does weekly, is to have all production related systems inactive. Even a simpler net change MRP would take a long time if this is what Ford runs weekly. The little $7 billion company I ran manufacturing planning at for 20 of my 28 years there required a full 12 hours of SAP processing time for a full regeneration so Ford’s way more complex integrated system would take at least that much time since they’re doing much more detailed planning than the single manufacturing plant I ran. This would explain why servers went off line last night about 2:30 EDT and why there aren‘t updates available on Sundays. All that said this is all speculation, and I‘ve been wrong before, but it’s based on a long career in manufacturing.

I’m pretty sure this will go in one ear and out the other and many will continue to be nervous and complain but I thought it was worth a try.

Just gotta be hopeful. Everything happens for a reason after all

If it’s any constellation, I plugged my vin number into my FordPass app, and was surprised to see this

Well that make sense as to why the servers are off line then.

So I had a 3/14 blend with a 3/14 build week, had 816/1190. Early 8/15 I had tear tag with BCE mods, however I haven’t heard anything since and everything still says in production. Did ford chat today and they said I’m built but I will be in factory until 3/21 - 3/27 before it ships. They said that’s all the notes they had. Needless to say I’m less concerned than I was but still concerned. Anyone familiar with this?

I am in a similar situation. 3/9 blend. Mods popped, tear tag went to 4 digits, chatted with ford this Wednesday after seeing no movement on the trackers. They told me I was built and gave me an ETA of 4/3. Chatted with them this Friday and they told me it was still in production with a finish date of 4/3. Kind of confusing but hopefully it will be on its way soon.

Its really happening!

I just got updated from "in production" to "Built" as of 11pm.

I have an 3/16 blend and have been waiting for an update, like many others, since mods went live on 3/16.
