Re: [FWDLK] Parts ID

Wayne,

 

It’s simple, when the engineer checks out a new casting number and the finished new part number, he gets both at the same time and thus the numbers are consecutive. It is a common practice in many companies, and probably engineering department policy in a lot of them. The casting number is for procurement of castings and design and inventory control of castings. When the casting is processed into a finished machined part, it needs a new part number to identify it as a finished part.

 

Another the reasons the numbers are different is that the casting might be machined into more than one variation, each with different numbers.

Often at Mopar the number cast into a part is one number off from the engineering number for the part printed in the book.   I've never heard an explanation as to WHY.
