I did the last one for about 1k total but I replaced a bunch of stuff besides HG. Guy that sells studs gets over 700 just for studs IIRC. Ouch.... |

I worked in quality for 35 years. The company I worked for is a supplier to automotive. 1 problem I have seen through the years is that many of the design engineers have no concept of how to produce a part they designed. Many times we would get prints and have go back to the customer and tell them this can't be done in a stamping operation. I did notice in the last several years our manufacturing was getting involved in customer design so that the part can be manufactured

Me too! A genuine "rocket scientist" no less!
Fortunately a lot of my technical years was a tech on various ships, figuring out how to make things work. Then I got my engineering degree, but spent most of my time working on the assembly or test floor. Learned a lot of DFMA as well. I'm NOT one of "those engineers"! Field test and engineering was my forte, especially for new development products (gun systems and missiles). |

Among other things... The INSURV inspection message took 3 individual messages because the number of infractions was longer than the "REMARKS" section allowed, twice! (and that's LOTS of allowed characters in that field...) The new LCS's are no better. I'm SOOOOO glad I'm not active duty anymore, no way would I take orders to go on ANY of these ships! |

I could describe about a million screw ups from the arm chair designers. The last ship was a DDG, built well but with a bunch of items you would look at and think how the hell did they design that.
