What does the “schedule note” on IPC s quotation mean?
IPC attempts to give customers an idea of our lead-time by stating the next available production space as of the day the quotation is prepared. This schedule note is intended to assist the customer in identifying where lead-time issues will be critical and can allow the customer to communicate with the owner as to a required time frame for deciding to proceed with the job. Due to the uneven flow of orders, we are unable to predict how the lead-time will change in the weeks following the quotation. A schedule commitment can be made by IPC when a purchase order and complete contract drawings are received.
