We agreed on the following
<br>
<br>
1. Spreadsheet results for the process optimizations will be made
vendor neutral before they are widely distributed
<br>
We will say who the vendors are
<br>
We will NOT say which vendor produced which results
<br>
Any knowledgeable user will be able to determine so quite
quickly by looking at the data
<br>
<br>
2. We want to have a first version of the new model/process ready by
next week (5/28)
<br>
Sandvik has already made its first version
<br>
Iscar has received the spindle data and is making a new
version<br>
STEP Tools and Boeing will make cosmetic improvements to
the rest of the model (new fixture, more tolerance documentation).
<br>
<br>
3. Boeing has not yet sent any tooling or blanks to Okuma, Iscar or
Sandvik
<br>
Okuma is keen to get started as soon as possible<br>
Need to start proving things so that they can get their
pre-show publicity machine up and running.
<br>
The Sandvik rep will be visiting soon and they will be
contacting their Iscar rep
<br>
<br>
A recording of the call is on the ftp site.
