Re: Sheet Metal Timeline

If you are looking for how fast the turnaround is, the best would be same day.

However, reasonably I would expect the best to be next day (unless it is really slow at work, then same day). It is better to provide more time to the shops, instead of rushing them. Afterall, it is free.

On some of the few things that we have had made, I drop off files early in the week and expect to see them by the end of the week. On some parts, like our kicking arms from 2010, that go through many iterations I put as the higher priority and the guys on the shop floor can usually help us out in those instances.

To get back to your question, I don't know IFI's turnaround, but after reading the blogs (religiously during build season) it is fairly quick.
