@rdunniii posted:As soon as Scott gets about the minimum required reservations he asks Jonathan to put together a matrix of variations. Several of us help him in that effort. Once the preliminary matrix is agreed to here Scott sends it to the builder for input. Once the matrix is agreed to by everybody the variations that will be produced are fixed and reservations close. There is some magic in that process as some variations on the bubble may end up on the go list and others not on the go list because of complexity i.e., read cost to build. As for the build order that kinda depends on the reservations. This last push for reservations has put the SDs earlier on the production list. Es and KMs are a little further behind.
This note from rdunniii and one from Scott in I believe a GP thread tells us of the nuances of executing these “runs” - including factory pushback when a run gets to large and complex. Something has to give. It’s usually cutting a small order road names to make the “run” manageable. So I’d say if you are “on the fence” - get your reservation in ASAP as it will help clean up Scott’s decision process and minimize his last minute “scramble” to finalize the run. It Should help Us get our models a bit sooner and save Scott some grief.
Just my opinion.
Cheers
