BuildBuild: Week six…
Week six
Bev places the escalator order, quoting the specification attached to the enquiry: C01.
Bev's journey · Procurement · Story 3
Ordered off the old spec
Bev orders the escalators against the specification in the enquiry. It changed a fortnight earlier.
The wrong way
A fortnight earlier
The designer reissued it as C02. Heavier escalators.
The order
It doesn't say which revision it was placed against, so nobody spots it.
BuildBuild: Fourteen weeks later…
Week twenty
The escalators arrive. Rex signs for them. They look like escalators.
Week twenty
Stevie checks the nameplate against the schedule. Wrong escalators.
The week after
Sam: Which spec?
New order: sixteen more weeks, and a restocking charge for the old ones. Bev: "I ordered what the spec said."
The right escalators were on C02. The order was for C01.
