Housing and impeller program with Keelson Precision Manufacturing

Four decisions are yours between Oct 6 and Oct 9.

Three RFQs wait for a drawing revision letter, the housing family quote needs your decision, the bore tolerance waits on revision D, and order 2287 would grow from 400 to 650 units and add 3 weeks. Keelson recommends and you decide. Nothing is released before you answer.

Decision sheet

  1. 6Tue Oct

    Send the drawing revision letters

    Which drawing revision applies to RFQ 5125, 5127 and 5129. Each RFQ is missing only that fact.

    Keelson recommends
    Send all three together. Benedict releases complete RFQs to engineering review on Oct 7.
    If it waits
    The RFQs cannot enter engineering review, so no quote starts and its 30 day validity cannot begin.
    Open the RFQ sheet
  2. 7Wed Oct

    Record your decision on quote Q-9235

    Accept, decline or ask a question on the quote for the new housing family. Rosalind Chau approved its price and capacity.

    Keelson recommends
    Read the issued quote and its valid-until date, and ask Benedict anything unclear before you decide.
    If it waits
    Nothing is ordered from the quote until you answer. It stays valid for 30 days from issue.
    See the options
  3. 8Thu Oct

    Decide the three questions on revision D

    Bore tolerance on RFQ 5102, flange flatness on RFQ 5111 and the port thread class on RFQ 5124.

    Keelson recommends
    Decide the bore tolerance first. Keelson records your decision and does not choose between two readings of a drawing.
    If it waits
    The RFQ 5102 quote cannot take a bore tolerance, so the housing quote is not built.
    Open the question log
  4. 9Fri Oct

    Accept or decline the order 2287 change

    Raise order 2287 from 400 to 650 impellers, part IMP-220-B. The revised offer adds $29,500 and 3 weeks.

    Keelson recommends
    Accept only if a Nov 28 delivery works for your builds. If Nov 7 matters more, decline and the order stays at 400.
    If it waits
    The order stays at 400 units on Nov 7. No material is released and no rescheduling starts.

Also due Oct 9: acknowledge the two casting delays on orders 2284 and 2291, or ask for a different date. See Delivery.
