Job Shops, what is your mix.
What do your customers give you in order to make their parts?
(please indicate all that apply)
1 [ ] Supply prints only
2 [ ] Supply prints & usable solids
3 [ ] Supply prints & would supply Solids but your company doesn't
have a means to import and use their solids
4 [ ] Supply prints and unreliable solids. Need to compare and check
because supplied solids and prints don't always match.
4a [ ] print overrides solid, you edit solid
to match drawing and send revision to customer
4b [ ] Solid overrides print, you mark up dwg for production
4c [ ] Error/s found, send package back to customer for rev.
4d [ ] too risky you (re)draw the solid from scratch
4e [ ] solid needs to be edited for machining,
solid not programmed to mean
6 [ ] Supply Solids & engineering data for tolerances (no prints) so
you can program and inspect parts directly from information contained
in solid.
7 [ ] Supply Solids but depends on which engineer made them as to
whether they are usable for machining or not.
++++++++++++++++
Exception to receiving part information from customer.
8 [ ] You manufacture standards and create your own solids.
(standards can be any industry standard like)
(tool holders, fittings, fasteners, nuts, bolts)
9 [ ] You manufacture standards, no solids, straight to CAM
+++++++++++++
10 [ ] Other (none of the above, please specify)
What percentage of your work load for each item?
