Got our weekly e-mail from our schesduler about this weeks commodity issues. Here is what it said for Mustang:

"Mustang GT's with the Manual transmission and any orders with the interior upgrade package will not pull at all this scheduling week (40)."

If you ordered a V6 or GT auto without IUP, welcome to the front of the line.

Yea, but how does someone here know if their order was built before it, that is the question. It seems like even if every member pre-ordered one, they should of been built by now.

This is for currently unscheduled orders that were due to be pulled this week. If you are already scheduled this won't effect you.

As of yesterday, my order placed 7/22 is still not scheduled. My dealer comes back from a 4 week vacation Saturday. I'm going to really dig deep with him on Monday.

My priority (last I saw) was 20, in line with the rest of his customer orders (they are not pushing others to the front). But who knows how that has changed, I haven't seen a copy of the Order Status with other customer orders since August.

I'm sure that commodity holds have hurt my order, but this is ridiculous.

Are you sure your not scheduled?
My dealership told me that I was scheduled. No build date as of yet, but scheduled.
He said there is a difference. Maybe someone can expand on this. I ordered 9/11

can you define "pulled"? I know you mentioned "scheduled", but is that excatly what pulled means?

As far as I know the status are:
(1) clean/unscheduled
(2) submitted to plant
(3) scheduled
(4) locked in (no changes to order allowed)
(5) bucked (implies that production of the vehicle has commenced)
(6) produced
(7) released from plant

so where does that leave sub to plant?

just curious.

I thought submitted to plant was the last step before scheduled and at this point you'd have a planned build week.

lodom

Is there a specific day of the week that the plant updates schedules, or is this done on any day?

ace0215

is that not how my list states it?

Karpro

When Ford pulls an order it moves from an unscheduled to submitted to plant status. For example, if we have an allocated unit for this week, on thursday ford will "pull" the next unscheduled order, with the lowest priority, from our order bank and submit it to the plant. This particular week though, if it has the IUP or manual transmission it will get skipped and the next vehicle without these options will get pulled.

Hope this helps clarify it

Yes, you are correct. You beat me by 1 minute in posting and your response wasn't visable before I finished submitting mine.
