--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Quality Assurance & Customer Compliance Manager (speak, public): Before we dive into the details of the AM pilot, I'd like to confirm the production scope and the qualification approach we are considering. It's crucial that we ensure it aligns with our customer quality and compliance obligations, especially regarding the special-process qualification requirements for safety-critical parts. Can we outline those specifics?
[R0.2] Additive Manufacturing Engineering Lead (speak, public): Absolutely, we have 18 part numbers in Wave 1, with 4 of those being safety-critical. Our qualification approach will involve a Design of Experiments (DOE) over the next 4 weeks, followed by a first-article inspection for 12 parts. This will ensure we meet the necessary compliance requirements. Let's discuss any specific concerns you have regarding the qualification of these safety-critical parts and how we can address them.
[R0.3] Plant Finance & Supply Chain Controller (speak, public): I appreciate the outline of the qualification approach. It's essential that we ensure not only compliance but also alignment with our financial parameters. Considering the projected internal unit cost is $148 compared to the current purchase cost of $212, we need to ensure that our pilot can maintain this cost advantage while meeting quality standards. Let's discuss how we can mitigate any risks associated with supplier performance and ensure that we stay within budget for this pilot. Can we also outline any potential impacts on our inventory carrying costs given the current average spare-parts inventory value of $1.4M?

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] Quality Assurance & Customer Compliance Manager (speak, public): Thank you for that clarification on the qualification approach and cost analysis. Given that we have four safety-critical part numbers, I would like to emphasize the importance of adhering to the customer special-process qualification requirements, particularly the need for 3 consecutive conforming builds and the tensile testing protocols. Additionally, we need to ensure that our traceability and retention requirements are strictly followed, as they will be critical during the upcoming customer audit. Can we establish a timeline for these qualifications and any potential impacts on our measurement capacity given the CMM constraints?
[R1.2] Additive Manufacturing Engineering Lead (speak, public): I agree with the critical importance of adhering to the customer special-process qualification requirements, especially with the safety-critical parts. We can establish a timeline that includes the need for 3 consecutive conforming builds and the tensile testing protocols. Additionally, I suggest we conduct a review of our CMM capacity to ensure we can meet the traceability and retention requirements without impacting our measurement capabilities. Let's align on these timelines and any adjustments needed to accommodate the CMM constraints.
[R1.3] Plant Finance & Supply Chain Controller (speak, public): I appreciate the focus on compliance and quality assurance for the safety-critical parts. It's crucial we establish a clear timeline for the qualification process, including the 3 consecutive conforming builds and tensile testing protocols. Additionally, I recommend we assess our CMM capacity to ensure it can accommodate the necessary traceability and retention requirements without hindering our measurement capabilities. Can we agree on a specific timeline for these qualifications and also discuss any adjustments that may be needed?

--- Round 2 ---
[R2.1] Quality Assurance & Customer Compliance Manager (speak, public): I appreciate the emphasis on timeline and measurement capacity. To ensure we stay on track, I propose we set a preliminary timeline for the qualification process that aligns with our customer requirements, aiming for the first conforming build by the end of the month. This will allow us to conduct the tensile testing and ensure we are fully prepared for the upcoming audit. Additionally, let's schedule a review of our CMM capacity next week to confirm we can meet all requirements without delays. How does that sound?
[R2.2] Additive Manufacturing Engineering Lead (speak, public): I think establishing a preliminary timeline for the qualification process by the end of the month is a great idea. It allows us to incorporate the tensile testing and prepare adequately for the audit. I also support scheduling a review of our CMM capacity next week to ensure we can meet all requirements without any delays. Let's confirm our next steps to keep everything on track.
[R2.3] Plant Finance & Supply Chain Controller (speak, public): I support the proposed timeline for the qualification process and the review of our CMM capacity. It's essential that we have everything in place for the audit and ensure our costs remain aligned with our projections. Let's confirm the details of our next steps and maintain communication as we progress.
