Bronco scheduling this week 3/23/23 is "limited horizon" = cleanup scheduling

[Alpha1_Silverback]

From @RagnarKon on what "limited horizon" means:

It's a term regularly used in manufacturing... you can search "rolling horizon algorithm" if you really want to dig into the weeds on it. It's also used in many other aspects of technology/logistics... computer processor scheduling (which is why I'm familiar with it), construction equipment scheduling, etc. etc.​

​

But if you don't want to earn a degree in manufacturing today... it's effectively cleanup scheduling.​

​

​

STATS UPDATE:

Roughly 15k orders are yet to be scheduled.

~27% WT
~20% BL
~20% 2 DR
~52% SAS
~60% LUX

Saying SHOULD b/c who really knows, what will happen between now and October!

WT- about 50% should be built.
2 DR - about 90% should be built.
SAS- < 75%
LUX - 60%

Best/most current forecast/estimate of what will(should) be scheduled for 23MY. This will/can change weekly, based on what commodities are actually available.

Of course, the likeliness of getting scheduled, is still based on how many allocations your select dealership has remaining.

This is the first time I have seen "limited horizon". What does this mean?

idk either ... but it doesn't make me feel confident in getting scheduled before the flood gates of new orders roll in on 3/27.

My concern exactly!

Probably just means limited may scheduling.

Thanks! That is a huge disappointment! BTW, you did a great job on your YT video explaining your build and various trims.

Thank you! Appreciate that.

Unfortunately... since Ford isn't taking orders for manual transmission, that video is now dead-on-arrival. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pissed about it yesterday.

For others who are curious, here is the video. Unfortunately, it serves no purpose now, so it'll remain forever in an unlisted state.

Sounds like a nice way of saying those still waiting enjoy getting bumped by the new 2023 higher base priced orders, we'll get to you when we can.

I disagree…there is a purpose for those seeking a manual whether dealer stock or used. I love your passion for the manual. Leave it listed!

Orders are still going to prioritized based on 1. Dealer Allocation 2. time stamp 3.commodity constraints.
Old orders will be prioritized, if the build falls into what commodities are available.

And since they are allowing the constraints to be ordered you will also get bumped by people with the same build at different dealers because they have allocations. Welcome to the sh..show

That's why your dealer selection is massively important. If you get a dealer that is ordering within their means you have a good chance at getting your vehicle this year. If you have a dealer that doesn't care and just lets you order whatever... then you're probably screwed.

Unfortunately we as customers don't have the tools to know which dealers are smart about their ordering and which aren't. Which goes back to what @flip was saying earlier in another thread about making the allocations public to some degree rather than having it remain confidential information.

Oh ya original order date was Oct 2021 and nada. Been holding out and tired of seeing exact copies of my Bdalands build all over the internet yet nothing on mine. Will not be surprised at all to still see brand new orders built before mine.
