We discussed progress on machining the part. The efficiency issues for 
the Boeing process have been fixed in v9 of IMTS_HARDMOLDY. The new 
process is much faster so we need to visit the efficiency of the tool 
vendor solutions again. Boeing will measure the machining times of each 
process using its tools and Okuma will measure their efficiency on the 
machine tool. STEP Tools will improve the timing measurements in the 
STEP-NC Explorer by including timings for the rapid movements.
