I'm putting our FR10 bracket estimate together and the old notes say straighten before final check. The new price has no straightening. Did we improve anything, or just lose a line?
Haven't got one. The first measured check is with it clamped, then the final sheet is after straightening. Different supports too, because apparently that would be too easy.
That sounds like a reason to keep the extra work in the estimate for now. On our inspection nest I'm asking tooling to explain the contacts before buying a stronger clamp. A fixture looking convincing hasn't answered how the part actually sits.
Same bracket revision, fixture unknown on the older sheet. Sam, the setter makes the call using a checking block that doesn't have an ID. I'll ask quality about that block.
Robin, that's the question I'd put at the top of the meeting. Otherwise everyone can spend an hour discussing the old paperwork and forget why the price changed.
Robin, no trial behind the omission. Estimator assumed the new fixture would hold it better. I don't want that assumption buying us a bench full of correction work later.
Retain a provisional allowance. Have quality and fabrication define paired released checks on identified current parts, with fit-up and measurement supports recorded.
Allowance stays for now. Quality will identify the checking block before we use it for anything new. Thanks Elena, at least I can explain the missing comparison without claiming the robot caused it.
