How long do you wait for a casting before you pull the job off the machine?

A batch of ten housings is on the schedule. Six castings are here, four are 'this week.' The fixture is indicated and the first piece is good. Holding the machine idle for the last four costs the next job.

Run the six, record the offset and the tool lengths, and release the machine. A proved setup can be rebuilt from the pin check faster than a week of idle spindle time.

Tell the buyer the six ship and the four follow when castings exist. Do not promise a single lot date you do not have metal for.

If the casting date slips again, the quote's lead time was fiction. Fix the next promise, not only this calendar.
