ORDER STATUS
Each new car order 5600A requires a status
classification in one of these categories:
Code
Sold
Stock
Rental & Leasing
Demo
S
U
R
D
Sold orders will receive preference in pro-
duction scheduling when there is a choice
between a sold and stock order.
TO EXPEDITE
In addition to the above automatic priority,
the most effective method for expediting
urgently needed cars is through the medium
of a Preference List.
PRIORITY
Order numbers should be listed in descend-
ing sequence based upon their relative impor-
tance.
Do not group by body styles. Unsold orders,
to balance stocks, should also be considered
and listed. Mark the classification of each
order according to one of the four order status
categories.
PRODUCTION NOTICE
Do not list orders for which a notice of pro-
duction has been received. This notice indi-
cates that the car is in the final stages of as-
sembly and no further action is required.
FRIDAY MAILING
Dealers should mail a new list every Friday.
This is a desirable cycle, as it utilizes the week-
end for transit.
RE-LIST UNSCHEDULED ORDERS
When received at the zone office, the new
preference list will supersede the previous one;
therefore, any orders for which production
notices have not been received should be re-
listed. This presents an opportunity for revis-
ing the sequence of unscheduled orders as
latest demands may dictate.
REPLACEMENT ORDERS
If a Replacement Order (especially a recent
one) is being listed, a worth while precaution
is to mention the date of the replacement order
to prevent the original or previous order from
being scheduled.
OTHER MARKINGS
Do not use the Preference List for other
messages or requests to change specifications,
as they are likely to be overlooked.
SCHEDULING
Subject to availability of materials, orders
on the Preference List will be given priority in
as nearly the sequence listed as possible.
FORMS
A supply of Preference Lists, form 1541A,
is available upon request.
