seems like the chip shortage was bullshit if the lux package has a massive surplus of parts
or maybe im just reading the chart wrong

Some folks on the forum waffling about their current order should read this sentence several times.Personally, I would not advocate anyone changing their orders to try and get built as doing so would amount to trying to hit an invisible moving target.
What with the blank on the 2 door hard top? Are the 2 door mold in color hard tops figured in with the 4 door versions?"BRONCO SCHEDULING UPDATE
We completed our first full week of retail order scheduling. A few notes:
Commodity Ramp Up – Part availability will vary each week and month and will impact order scheduling sequence. For instance, we have heavy soft tops initially as hard tops ramp up, and so we had a higher mix of soft tops this month than our full year estimate calls for.
All Orders are in Play – Because of the commodities, all orders are in play. The scheduling system will still select based off (1) Dealer Allocation, (2) Commodities, and then (3) Timestamp, but because a lot of the orders are built very similarly, the system will continue to go down the list until it finds a clean order.
To help better manage your customers’ expectations, starting with July production we will provide a National Bronco Commodity Report monthly (attached for June as reference) that will show our monthly build capacities compared to the full unscheduled order bank by key commodities. This will give direct line of site of our supply and demand on commodities and provide dealers with a resource to talk to customers about making potential changes to their orders to improve their build timing.
Scheduling Timeline
Thursday scheduling will continue on a weekly basis with the following monthly cadence:
· Week 1: First Editions
o NOTE: These will be scheduled throughout the entire Model Year. Additionally, all First Edition allocations were calculated based on # of First Edition orders in order bank as of March 19 deadline.
· Week 2: Dealer Earned Allocation – Non-First Edition Orders
· Week 3 & 4: Clean Up, As Necessary
As a reminder, we will send all order holders a communication in May notifying them of their estimated delivery timeframe based on their current build, production volume, and allocation."
There was more but this is the important info. Personally, I would not advocate anyone changing their orders to try and get built as doing so would amount to trying to hit an invisible moving target. Commodities will change weekly and monthly so what do you change this week to try and figure out what their capacities are going to be next week? According to this, low time stamp doesn't guarantee anything at this point. It's more like a lottery for "clean" priority 19s at this point so don't bother asking anymore. You will have an email by May for estimated delivery or you won't. Your dealer will know when you are previewed, you will know sometime Thursday if your numbers got drawn.

June Production Demand vs Capacity
Legend:
- USOB = Unscheduled Order Bank
- Black, + ppts =
- Red, (-) ppts =
i THINK the + and - reflect demand VS capacityI appreciate the info!
I am a bit confused still on the + and - pieces though and how this works. I guess you add up your build "points" and then what does this signify to you...?
Ah, gotcha - Thank you for spelling that out for my with crayons and simple words haha. I guess that makes me feel slightly better actually.i THINK the + and - reflect demand VS capacity
the higher the -red number the higher the demand and lower the capacity
the higher the +normal number the higher the demand and higher the capacity

The Unscheduled Order Bank is the central repository of all orders received by Ford which have not yet been scheduled to build.USOB = parts available after scheduled production so others can be built if the build request all falls into the black? - like "extra" Broncos? Or is this what's available for building the scheduled Broncos? Please clarify.
Molded in Color hard top and 2-door hard top (which is also MIC) are combined in the same number... (33).What with the blank on the 2 door hard top? Are the 2 door mold in color hard tops figured in with the 4 door versions?
So if I don't have a build date for my Badlands, that would be included in that USOB number, correct? It's basically ALL orders outstanding?The Unscheduled Order Bank is the central repository of all orders that Ford has received which have not yet been scheduled to build.

Thanks, makes sense. I wonder if the back portion of the hardtop are actually the same on the 2 and 4 doors?The Unscheduled Order Bank is the central repository of all orders that Ford has received which have not yet been scheduled to build.

I assume this will be taken into account when we all receive our delivery estimates next month...?I was also told not to get too excited when I receive my email as Ford may build my vehicle but if they are short on chips they will park the B in a lot until they get the chips... can’t wait for that to happen
