The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXIII

JLarson

Morning all! I'm drinking my near covefe (decaf) and trying to handle 1) a mounting load of paperwork associated with our customer changing drawing revs 2x in 2 days; 2) the need for an inspection fixture to captivate a large sheet metal part; 3) hardware which may have been wrongly specced by the customer's engineers, and was special ordered from China, and if it is wrong will necessitate yet another drawing change; and 4) pushing the customers buyer to update purchase orders to list the correct rev of the goods they are purchasing from us to match what has changed 2x in 2 days, and will likely change again!

tl;dr - where's Friday hiding?!

All that sounds really familiar. We aren't building our 'old' system because we don't have parts for the enclosure, we are building enclosures for the 'new' system, but the company isn't going to buy any carts until next year....

Years ago when I was working for Fruehauf. We got a shipment of stainless steel 10 ga. sheet from China. The sheet was to get tig welded on both sides. I'm welding the first pieces of sheet coming off the shipment. Weld the first side. Start to pick up the piece with a crane to flip over and weld the other side. The sheets start to delaminate at the weld. QC starts to check random pieces of the order. They all failed inspection. That just about bankrupt Fruehauf for failing to meet schedule. Never seen anything like that.

That's a headache! I've never even heard of that happening before, but we buy and handle a specialty product (high nickel iron alloy) for magnetic shielding. We deal with France mostly, some from Germany.
