SCHEDULING HELPFUL HINTS

Fleet orders are prioritized based on a two-digit alpha-numeric priority code which indicates the month and the week an order needs to be built. Numeric priority codes (including 99) are not valid Fleet priority codes. See the Fleet Priority Code Calendar link below for valid priority codes. Please be aware of the following:

• First available priority codes are calculated weekly based on current order bank, available allocation, controlled commodities, and plant downtime. It is very important to review the Fleet DNB weekly as first available priority codes can sometimes change drastically if, for example, there is a large influx of orders received.

• Fleet receives a pre-determined amount of allocation (production slots) each month for weekly scheduling. Once the amount of orders prioritized for that week/month exceeds the available allocation, the first available priority code is moved out to the next week/month.

• Orders are selected for scheduling based on priority code first, then by order receipt date. Despite how long an order has been in the unscheduled order bank, if the plant is not yet filling the production week associated with the requested priority code, the order will remain unscheduled.

• As a general rule of thumb, production dates are at least one month out from order receipt date.

• Every effort is made to accurately estimate the lead times, and to reflect longer lead times of specific commodities. In the absence of adjusted lead times for commodities, please use the high, medium, or low risk rating as a guide.

Please review specific vehicle line information below to assist in ordering vehicles for timely delivery. Every attempt will be made to honor the requested Fleet priority code. Due to unforeseen circumstances such as plant downtime or commodity issues, this may not be possible. The information and estimated timing indicated below are correct at time of publication. Availability and timing are subject to change without notice. Acceptance of an order by Ford Motor Company does not constitute a commitment to build or a guaranteed delivery date.

DESIRED PRODUCTION DATE PRIORITY CODES PLACE ORDERS BY

February B1, B2, B3, B4 January 1

March C1, C2, C3, C4 February 1

April D1, D2, D3, D4, D5 March 1

• CURRENTLY SCHEDULING FOR FEBRUARY PRODUCTION

• SCHEDULING FOR MARCH PRODUCTION BEGINS 2/11/15

Week 5 Priority Codes

Effective mid-April 2010, the system will automatically change Week 5 priority codes to Week 4 whenever a month does not contain a full fifth week. For example, in the month of May, any unscheduled orders placed with "E5" will be changed to "E4".

1This is the first available production week at the plant (not to be confused with "First Available Priority Code"). The "First Available Priority Code" is often beyond the first available production week at the plant due to incoming orders exceeding weekly/monthly allocation. This serves as a point of reference to help determine when order(s) may be submitted to the plant.

2 Every effort is made to accurately estimate the lead times, and reflect longer lead times of specific commodities. In the absence of adjusted lead times for commodities, please use the high, medium, or low risk rating as a guide.

3High-risk commodity has a lower probability of scheduling. Low-risk commodity has a higher probability of scheduling. Refer also to the Product Information section in the Fleet DNB for current material hold information.
