What is the difference between the Job1 type parts (including MC and RS parts) and Running Change (RC) parts?
• Running changes are release after the Job1 build. • Before the running change parts can be used on the vehicle, the previous level parts must be exhausted (for example, use up all remaining “AA” level parts before switching to “AB” level parts). • The supplier has 72 hours to respond to a RC part, they only have 24 hours to respond to Job1 type parts. • The supplier is required to provide a Supplier Proc Span (lead time in weeks) for the part. • If the supplier knows the PSW date, they may schedule that date, but they must still provide the Supplier Proc Span. • Ford will calculate a Material Requirement Date (MRD) for the RC part.
