--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Quality Assurance & Customer Compliance Manager (speak, public): To effectively assess the AM pilot, I need a detailed overview of the proposed production scope and the qualification approach. Additionally, understanding the financial context is crucial for evaluating the feasibility of the required quality controls. Could we discuss these aspects further?
[R0.2] Additive Manufacturing Engineering Lead (speak, public): I can provide an overview of the proposed production scope and qualification approach. For the pilot, we're looking at producing 18 part numbers with an annual demand of 1,260 units, out of which 4 are safety-critical. Regarding our equipment, we have 2 metal LPBF machines with a maximum build volume of 250x250x300 mm, targeting 16 builds per week. Additionally, I have details on the qualification and submission timeline if that would be helpful. Could we discuss the financial context further to ensure our quality controls meet expectations?
[R0.3] Plant Finance & Supply Chain Controller (speak, public): To provide the financial context you need, I can share that the projected internal unit cost for the AM pilot is $148, compared to the current average purchase cost of $212. This is based on a model volume of 1,260 units per year. Additionally, our inventory carrying cost assumption is currently at 18% per year, with an average spare-parts inventory value of $1.4 million. This information should help us evaluate the financial implications of the pilot more effectively. What specific governance requirements are you considering that might drive overhead and long-term operating costs?

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] Quality Assurance & Customer Compliance Manager (speak, private to=Additive Manufacturing Engineering Lead,Plant Finance & Supply Chain Controller): Thank you for the detailed overview and financial context provided. To ensure we meet customer quality standards, I would like to understand the qualification and submission timeline you mentioned, as well as any potential hidden stability issues in the process. Additionally, could we discuss any commercial lock-ins that may affect our transition or contingency management?
[R1.2] Additive Manufacturing Engineering Lead (speak, private to=Quality Assurance & Customer Compliance Manager,Plant Finance & Supply Chain Controller): Regarding the qualification and submission timeline, the DOE duration is set for 4 weeks, with a first-article inspection planned for 12 parts. The PPAP submission is scheduled in 10 weeks. This timeline is critical to ensuring we meet both internal and customer expectations. As for the potential hidden stability issues, I believe it would be prudent for us to identify any constraints that could impact our qualification path. I’d also like to gather more insights into any commercial lock-ins that may affect our transition and contingency plans. Can we delve into those aspects next?
[R1.3] Plant Finance & Supply Chain Controller (speak, public): I appreciate the updates on the qualification timeline and the potential stability issues. To ensure we are aligned, can we discuss any governance requirements that may affect our overhead and operating costs? Additionally, I'd like to understand if there are any warning signals regarding supplier performance that could impact our business case.

--- Round 2 ---
[R2.1] Quality Assurance & Customer Compliance Manager (speak, public): To address the concerns about governance requirements, I can share that for safety-critical parts, we must adhere to specific customer qualifications, including traceability and retention mandates. The powder lot must be traceable to each build ID, and all build and inspection records need to be retained for 10 years. This will help us mitigate any risks associated with governance and ensure compliance. Additionally, I would like to gather more information regarding any potential commercial lock-ins that may affect our operations. Can we discuss this further?
[R2.2] Additive Manufacturing Engineering Lead (speak, public): To address the concerns about commercial lock-ins, I believe we should evaluate our supplier agreements closely to identify any constraints that may limit us. It's also essential to discuss any potential risks related to material availability and continuity plans. Can we gather insights on the existing contracts and their flexibility?
